Subsonic
Subsonic is a free,
web-based media streamer and jukebox.
Subsonic is a free, web-based media streamer, providing
ubiquitous access to your music. Use it to share your music with
friends, or to listen to your own music while at work. You can stream
to multiple players simultaneously, for instance to one player in your
kitchen and another in your living room.
Subsonic is designed to handle very large music collections
(hundreds of gigabytes). Although optimized for MP3 streaming, it works
for any audio or video format that can stream over HTTP, for instance
AAC and OGG. By using transcoder
plug-ins, Subsonic supports on-the-fly conversion and
streaming of virtually any audio format, including WMA, FLAC, APE,
Musepack, WavPack, Shorten and OptimFROG.
