I've been using [Navidrome](https://www.navidrome.org) to stream music for a bit now. It's lightweight, snappy, stable and does everything I need. It lets me stream my own music, mark things as favorites and [track my listening habits](/posts/2025/tracking-listens-from-navidrome). It's decidedly nerdy — you need to self-host it (or pay someone to manage it — I assume that's an option somewhere) and [I sync new music up to it using rclone](/posts/2025/managing-music-with-rclone). It supports the [Subsonic](https://subsonic.org) API and is, as such, compatible with a number of apps for a slew of platforms. I like some of them. I don't *love* any of them. So, I built my own.
