Overview:

Use Subsonic to share your music with friends, or to listen to your own music while at work. You can stream to multiple players simultaneously, for instance to one player in your kitchen and another in your living room. It is designed to handle very large music collections (many thousand albums). By using transcoder plug-ins, Subsonic supports on-the-fly conversion and streaming of virtually any audio format, including FLAC, APE, WMA, Musepack, WavPack, Shorten and OptimFROG.If you have constrained bandwidth, you may set an uspper limit for the bitrate of the music streams. Subsonic will then automatically resample the music to a suitable bitrate. In addition to being a streaming media server, Subsonic works very well as a local jukebox. The intuitive Web interfaces, as well as search and index facilities, are optimized for efficient browsing through large media libraries. Version 3.6 has improved security, only transcoders installed in SUBSONIC_HOME/transcode are allowed to be executed, this includes LAME downsampling and fixed problem where server in some cases came to a state where streaming is refused.
