The best music server, could be this one ..

Enjoy my fork of mStream Velvet

I have used mStream as based to provide for everything a music hoarder or music lover would like to see. And many features and functionalities are still in the roadmap.

You can use File Browsing based on folders / subdirectories, we have scanning the ID3tags, we  have a special ALBUM feature where you can decide what folders have albums so that the scanner does not have issues with all those wrongly tagged music (if you have that).

There are soo much new features and functionalities that I need multiple pages to explain them.
to see for yourself: use Docker or Node and you can use mStream Velvet. The best music server (but you  have to decide yourself)

Mstream Velvet a forked project to stream the music you want

After using many years mStream I forked the project when the initial release of SQLITE was introduced.
Missing many features in my music streamer, I decided to code it into my own fork using Claude Sonnet 4.6
No its not vibe coded as the main project was and is an aweful nice project, but slow progress over the last 2 years gave me the ability to think about features and functionalities I really wanted

  • Better scanning with Root folder and Child folders without double scanning
  • Wave form from music
  • Improved Auto-DJ functionality
  • Subsonic API support (needs testing)
  • Lyrics
  • Radio streams
  • Podcast feeds
  • Many new features you miss in other players
  • Built on Node
  • Discogs Album-art Search
  • Tag editing
  • LastFM similar song
  • LastFM scrobbling
  • Gapless Playback
  • Dice
  • Spectrum Analyzer, Mildrop etc..

And many more features.
As a previous user of many music streamers like Subsonic, Navidrome, this mStream Velvet version is my way of letting you know: you can try this and give me your feedback

There is a Dockerfile as well (whoeehooe) (and I do not like docker)
