Subsonic Server

LasciviousXXX · 08-04-2010, 01:56 PM

I love music, I'm listening to it constantly throughout the day. Music pretty much dictates the speed and pace of whatever activity it is that I'm doing. That being said, I have a lot of music. And I am never able to fit my entire music library on any portable device. They just don't make them big enough. So I generally try to squeeze what I think I'll want to listen to into my paltry 32GB iPhone. However, it never fails that the specific song I want to listen to is not in my phone when I want to listen to it.

So I heard about this app that can stream your entire music library, no matter the size, to your iPhone via a server on your local machine. It also plays any type of file (FLAC,etc) that your iphone usually will not play. So I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Subsonic Servers or the app Z-Subsonic.

For me this is as close to cloud streaming as it gets. I would love to hear something good about these guys as it is a constant struggle for me to try and chop down my take along music list everyday.

Thx

I haven't used subsonic before, but I used lala all the time untill apple bought it and closed it. Do you think it is a good replacement?

Not sure yet, haven't actually used it. Trying to get some opinions before I go through the process of actually setting it up.

I'm all for cloud technology though, if they can keep quality up at the same time.

Never heard about the Subsonic Server...might have to look into it. I love my 160GB Ipod classic...loaded to the gills with 38,000+ songs!!

I'm with you in that boat Mac. My music collection is at about 226GB's currently. They just don't make iPod's that big LOL
