What is Navidrome?

Navidrome is a personal music streaming server. It handles very large music collections, streams virtually any audio format and transcodes on the fly. Each user gets their own play counts, playlists and favourites. It runs on macOS, Linux and Windows, with Docker images, and works with Subsonic-compatible apps.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Navidrome does well

  • Play your own library without a subscription
  • Several users, each with their own playlists
  • Works with many Subsonic-compatible apps

Cons: where it falls short

  • Needs a computer or server that stays on
  • You must own the music files

Who Navidrome is for

Music collectors who want their own private streaming service.

Who can skip it

People content with a streaming subscription.
