BeetstreamNext

Fully-featured music server for Beets.io music libraries implementing the OpenSubsonic API

BeetstreamNext exposes your Beets music library over the OpenSubsonic API, letting you stream your music to any Subsonic/OpenSubsonic/Navidrome client. It supports essentially the whole specification (only video-streaming is left out), and adds a bunch of its own extras :)

Features

• Multi-user accounts: per-user bookmarks, ratings, favorites, play queues... (details)
• Streaming: direct play, on-the-fly transcoding, adaptive-bitrate HLS, server-side ReplayGain, self-healing streams (details)
• Jukebox mode: play on the server's own hardware, a Sonos speaker, or a Chromecast device (details)
• Library augmentation: artist bios, similar artists/songs, ratings, lyrics, sonic similarity (details)
• Internet radio & podcasts, managed independently of your Beets library (details)
• Playlists: BeetstreamNext's own per-user playlists, plus read/write access to Beets' playlist/smartplaylist files (details)
• Public shares: landing pages and download links, no client or account required (details)
• Security: IP allow/deny lists, adaptive rate-limiting (details)
• Advanced Beets queries: prefix a client search with beets:/b: to run a full Beets query instead of a simple search
