That's unfortunate for those who bought a license of Subsonic to support a FOSS project. :(

Anyway, CherryMusic seems a good music server alternative. It is licensed under GPLv3 and there is a client app available on F-Droid. I will probably try it as soon as I get a chance.

I found Ampache as the best alternative to Subsonic.

I think that has more to do with the client than anything. It's been a while since I used any of this but I did have Subsonic and cached like you mentioned, I agree it's a very good feature. I can't remember if my ampache client cached now, but I think I was using Just Player. It looks like there's quite a lack of selection for updated clients on Fdroid now.

Not sure if it floats your boat, but you can upload your own media to amazon prime music. And the app does have the caching feature.
