Is there a self hosted alternative to Google Play Music? The software was an excellent free service- just not very good at making money for Google. A lot of us with music collections are running NAS- surely something can fill the void. Right now I'm using MusicBee for playing flac locally, Spotify for streaming on the go.


This is what I'm using: - Raspberry Pi - Streaming server: MiniDLNA - Android client: Hi-Fi Audio

You can of course get your ripped music from Google Takeout.

I wanted a headless install, and MiniDLNA works great - you just install with apt-get and then point it to a directory tree of mp3 files.

Hi-Fi Audio costs $9 -- I could not find an equivalent free & ad-free player, though they must exist.


I migrated to ampache a while back. Other than a bad UI it's really solid. It supports the subsonic API (among others) so you can use one of those apps.


I am working on a project that does this. Its still got a ways to go though

I'm using Plex. They've been working on their Plexamp music player app for a bit, and it works fine for me.


subsonic (or one of its forks) are what I've been using for the past 12 years

dsub is a brilliant piece of software, and it uses the subsonic api
