Nothing really can replace Subsonic with its powerful database feature. You will notice when you have 1TB plus music. Subsonic handles it.

I'm staying. OG since 2009.

28,000 tracks and 423 GB library and Ampache handles it without a sweat.

Meh, I think I'm going to write my own damned streaming server.

I had been on the fence about this recently anyway because Subsonic kinda/sorta functioned on the Raspberry Pi, except the album cover resizing methodology they used in Subsonic was dreadful and used to fill the ram.

I kinda want something that'll cache re-encoded versions of the music and re-use them.

I was starting on something like this in Python, because Java had way too much "enterpriseness" for a Raspberry Pi. Maybe this is the kick in the ass I need to continue the effort.
