It's a little time consuming to set up correctly and manage, but there is Ampache [1], for creating a scalable streaming music server that can be joined to others, so that catalogs are merged. It was created initially by a bunch of college kids (ok, they were college kids back then) at OSU and paid for with beer.

- kuzimoto 7y agoIt's really not too bad to setup, I promise! Windows is a pain right now, but Linux is pretty decent. I'm in the process of writing up a guide for setup on Windows for the Wiki, and will also do one for OSX, and a generic one for Linux. The Arch Wiki has a good guide already. It relies on a webserver, MySQL/MariaDB, and PHP, so a great project to try to get something useful running. Version 4 is going to be released soon and brings a lot of nice changes. I've been trying to update the Wiki to make sure content is up to date and isn't missing important information.
- LinuxBender 7y agoIn full disclosure, I only mentioned that because when I had last set it up, it took some tinkering to get it fully functional. That was a few years ago. I'm sure a lot of improvements have been made since then. It probably doesn't help that I tend to harden servers a bit.
- kuzimoto 7y agoNo worries, I just wanted to make sure people wouldn't get scared off too easily ;)
- jesterson 7y agoThis. I have Ampache set up in my cloud server, data storage mounted from my house. Works like a charm. Also amazing play:Sub iOS app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/play-sub-music-streamer/id955329386 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/play-sub-music-streamer/id9553...) supports Ampache API and has quite decent UI. All this allows me to have my music anywhere I go
