Navidrome

Navidrome is an open-source publisher focused on self-hosted media streaming, offering a single flagship product that re-imagines personal music collections for the cloud era. Navidrome turns any Windows, Linux or macOS machine into a lightweight, Subsonic-compatible music server, indexing local folders and serving them through a responsive web interface and a full-featured REST API. Users can stream lossless FLAC, high-resolution DSD or everyday MP3 to browsers, mobile apps, smart speakers and even car infotainment systems that support the Subsonic/Airsonic protocol. Typical deployments range from home-NAS libraries and Raspberry Pi hobby rigs to small-office jukeboxes and family sharing hubs, all managed through a clean Material-UI dashboard that handles multi-user accounts, playlists, transcoding rules, real-time lyrics and Last.fm scrobbling without manual database maintenance. Because the server adheres to open standards, listeners keep their favorite clients—DSub, Ultrasonic, Sonixd, Amperfy—while administrators gain LDAP/SSO integration, nightly backup hooks and optional Prometheus metrics. The entire stack ships as a single portable binary plus an optional Windows service wrapper, making upgrades and rollback as simple as replacing one executable. Navidrome’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the newest release and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
