Meelo is a self-hosted music server designed for music collectors. It provides a flexible way to organise, browse, search and play personal music and music-video libraries.
The software distinguishes between albums and their individual releases, as well as songs, tracks and alternate versions. This avoids unnecessary duplication while retaining different editions, recordings and mixes.
Meelo is distributed using Docker images. Mobile applications are available for Android and iOS.
This is free and open source software.
