35 Open-source Free Music and Audio Streaming Servers (Self-hosted)

[ad_1]

A music server is a software application or device that stores, organizes, and manages a music collection. It acts as a central hub where music files are stored and can be accessed by various devices or clients.

A music streaming server is a type of music server that allows users to stream their music collection over a network. It enables users to access their music from different devices and locations without physically transferring the music files.
