SwingMusic

Swing Music provides a self‑hosted server that streams locally stored audio files through a web‑based interface. It presents a clean, modern UI that lets users browse their collection by folders, search with fuzzy matching, and view recommendations, daily mixes, and related artists generated from listening activity. The system also normalizes metadata, handles duplicate tracks by keeping the highest‑bitrate version, and supports album versioning such as deluxe or remaster labels.

The application includes features for organizing music into collections, tracking listening statistics, and scrobbling to Last.fm. Multi‑user support allows separate accounts, and silence detection combined with cross‑fade creates seamless playback. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows (portable build) and can be deployed via Docker or a simple installation script. The project is open‑source under the AGPLv3 license, free to use without subscription, and maintained by a community of contributors.
