CLUSTER MUSIC-SUBSONIC-ANDROID · 17 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2013-03-26

Self-hosted music streaming apps

This cluster consists of music player apps that stream audio from self-hosted media servers (Subsonic, Jellyfin, Navidrome, Ampache, and similar), offering features like offline caching, playlists, and scrobbling. The dated history before the index start shows sparse entries in 2013 and 2015, a long gap until 2021, a few entries in 2024, and a concentration in mid-2026 (April, June, and July, with five entries in July). CassetteCat leads on traction with 10 stars, while Gelly and Power Ampache 2 have zero.
