Music Workflow

Scenario: I have 3 rather large folders of digital music, neither organized in a folder structure, nor with correct metadata

Making my music available

Use Cases:

Mopidy

URL: https://www.mopidy.com/ Description: Free music management tool that allows you amongst other things to control and play music on the server from a web interface. Solid, good looking, quick and easy to install but I was looking for music streaming as opposed to play on the server.

Madsonic

URL: http://beta.madsonic.org/pages/index.jsp Description: Free (Premium license available) fork of Subsonic, java-based self-hosted music management tool allowing amongst other things to play music from its web interface, theming (checkout https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/rolleshark) as well as a lightweight music player (so as not to scare away the less technical minded members of the household, checkout https://github.com/tsquillario/Jamstash) On the plus side, it is just dead easy to install, see http://beta.madsonic.org/pages/installation.jsp. Couple of things, JamStash doesn’t support Internet Radios (like Madsonic itself does), and I have found a couple of funnies along the way (it is beta release so to be expected) that I am having a look into.
