gonic is a music streaming server with a subsonic server API implementation.

Key Features
- Browsing by folder (keeping your full tree intact). It supports multiple music folders which can be useful if your music collection is separated by albums, compilations, singles. or by decade.
- Browsing by tags (using taglib – supports mp3, opus, flac, ape, m4a, wav, etc.).
- on-the-fly audio transcoding and caching (requires ffmpeg).
- Subsonic jukebox mode, for gapless server-side audio playback instead of streaming.
- Support for podcasts.
- Nimble scanning (with a library of ~50k tracks, initial scan takes about 10m, and about 6s after incrementally).
- Multiple users, each with their own transcoding preferences, playlists, top tracks, top artists, etc.
- last.fm scrobbling.
- listenbrainz scrobbling.
- Artist similarities and biographies from the last.fm api.
- Support for multi valued tags like albumartists and genres.
- Web interface for configuration (set up last.fm, manage users, start scans, etc.)
- Support for the album-artist tag, to not clutter your artist list with compilation album appearances.
- Written in Go, so it’s lightweight and suitable for a raspberry pi, etc.
- Newer salt and token auth.
- Tested on airsonic-refix, symfonium, dsub, jamstash, subsonic.el, sublime music, soundwaves, stmp, strawberry, and ultrasonic.
