The Problem
Self-hosters want to stream their own music collections with the same polished experience Spotify provides, but current options like Plexamp have clunky UIs and metadata issues. Users also need smart offline caching that downloads only frequently played tracks to save phone storage, plus the ability to import playlists from existing services like YouTube Music and Spotify.
Potential Solution
A self-hosted music server with a modern, Spotify-inspired client for web and mobile that features on-demand smart caching (only songs you actually play get stored locally for offline use), seamless playlist sync across devices, and playlist import from Spotify/YouTube Music. Built-in music discovery surfaces unplayed tracks from your own library based on listening habits.
Why Now?
Growing frustration with streaming service price hikes and catalog removals is pushing music fans toward self-hosting, while tools like Immich have proven that self-hosted apps can match commercial UX quality, raising user expectations for every media category.
