Supysonic
A Python-based music streaming server compatible with Subsonic clients.
Overview
Supysonic is a personal music streaming server designed for users who prefer to host and manage their own music libraries. Built with Python, it implements the Subsonic API, which means it can be accessed and controlled by a multitude of existing Subsonic-compatible client applications available on various platforms (desktop, mobile, web).
The primary value proposition of Supysonic lies in giving users complete ownership and control over their digital music. Instead of relying on third-party streaming services, users can set up Supysonic on their own server (e.g., a home server, VPS, or Raspberry Pi) and stream their entire music collection anywhere with an internet connection, without recurring subscription fees or privacy concerns associated with commercial platforms.
