What is it?

Aurral is a self-hosted music discovery app. It provides personal recommendations, trends, new and upcoming releases, artist news, and nearby shows, and it manages its own music library. Lidarr can be connected to manage the library, but it is optional.

The app covers the full path from discovery to playback. Users can search artists and albums, add them to Aurral or Lidarr, and monitor artists for new releases. Scheduled playlist flows can be created, and playlists can be imported from Spotify, YouTube Music, Last.fm, or ListenBrainz. Downloads run through yt-dlp, slskd, Usenet, or deemix, and the activity view tracks queues and history.

Aurral supports multiple users with separate profiles, permissions, and sign-in methods including local passwords, reverse-proxy SSO, OIDC, Google, and Plex. Music can be played in the browser, served to Subsonic-compatible players, or published to Navidrome, Plex, and Jellyfin.
