How to choose
Decide first how you want to listen. If you just want your own library in a browser and on your phone, navidrome/navidrome works with Subsonic clients, so you can pick from many mobile apps. If you want a server that also plays Spotify, SoundCloud and radio and is driven by MPD or web clients, look at mopidy/mopidy. If you already own Squeezebox hardware, LMS-Community/slimserver is the server built for those players.
- navidromeBest for people who want to stream their own library to a browser and phone using existing Subsonic clients.
- mopidyBest for those who want one extensible Python server for local files, Spotify, SoundCloud and radio, controlled from MPD or web clients.
- slimserverBest for anyone with Squeezebox players, or who wants emulators like Squeezelite, to play from their own server.
