Description
Substreamer is a free, open-source music streamer for your personal Subsonic-compatible server. Stream, browse, and download your entire music library on Android — no ads, no subscriptions, and no data collection.
Verified with Navidrome, Subsonic, Gonic, Nextcloud Music, and Ampache. Also compatible with Airsonic-Advanced, Funkwhale, Supysonic, and other Subsonic API servers.
STREAM & DOWNLOAD Stream music in full quality or choose a bitrate that suits your connection. Supports FLAC, MP3, AAC, and other lossless and lossy formats. Download albums, playlists, and favorite songs for offline listening with background queue processing and automatic recovery. Substreamer switches to offline mode automatically when your server is unreachable — your downloaded music keeps playing without interruption.
TUNED IN — SMART MIXES Personalised playlists powered by your listening history. Time-of-day mixes, deep cuts from similar artists, decade time machines, genre blends, favorites radio, and a custom mix builder — all generated from your own music library, not an algorithm trained on someone else's taste.
LISTENING ANALYTICS See your play history, top artists, albums, and songs, most active listening hours, activity heatmaps, and listening streaks. Scrobbles queue locally when you are offline and sync automatically when you reconnect. Exclude specific albums or artists so one-off plays don't skew your stats.
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT Browse your music collection by album, artist, or playlist. List and grid views with alphabetical quick-scroll make navigating large libraries fast and easy. 5-star ratings and favorites sync with your server. Create and manage playlists, reorder tracks, or save your current queue as a new playlist.
PLAYBACK Background playback with full lock screen and notification controls. Adjustable playback speed, shuffle, and repeat modes. Share albums or playlists with configurable links.
BEAUTIFUL & PRIVATE Light, dark, and system themes with custom accent colors. Album art color extraction for immersive detail views. Your self-hosted music stays between you and your server — no tracking, no analytics collected, no account required.
COMPATIBLE SERVERS Verified with Navidrome, Subsonic, Gonic, Nextcloud Music, and Ampache. Also compatible with Airsonic-Advanced, Funkwhale, Supysonic, and other Subsonic API servers. Built for the self-hosted music community.

Comments on Substreamer - Music Streamer for Android
★★★★★Phillip Dimor· May 5, 2024
Great app, This is the subsonic client you want to use. It looks good, is easy to use and is packed with features.
★★★★☆David J. Hammaker· Jul 8, 2024
Very usable streaming app with plenty of features. I like that I can create and update playlists from the app. I appreciate the management of offline resources and the ability to clear space from the app itself. Problems: No gapless streaming. The 3-dot buttons everywhere are too small. Album art sometimes disappears. I can't always remove a song from a playlist. Sometimes music is playing, but the play-progress-bar is frozen. I have to refresh playlists from playlist menu and inside playlist.

The new version is awesome. It works perfectly with Palindrome music server.
★☆☆☆☆Jay Banks· Mar 30, 2026
Last update really borked everything up. The ability to easily change from a private ip address to a public ip address has been removed. This means every time you go from your LAN to your WAN, you not only have to log out and in, but also to remember your public and private ip addresses to type in. I've been recommending this app to everyone, but now I'm going to have to start looking for a replacement (or use my web interface). The only bright spot here is that I don't use the WAN that much.
★★☆☆☆Dwayne Fluke· Jun 24, 2026
First off, nice work on the refresh. Nice to see so many improvements. It truly looks slick. That said, I'm running the last version of the original Subsonic server. Substreamer doesn't show any artwork even though it says it's downloaded after refreshing the cache. I know the server is stale but Substreamer claims compatibility. Android Auto would be nice as well.
★★☆☆☆Andrew Scaccetti· Oct 3, 2024
Basic functionality works, and it looks damn better than any other subsonic player on the play store but just it being open in the BG causes it to break Bluetooth media controls for all media apps
★☆☆☆☆Kevin Roof· Dec 24, 2023
Chromecast support is broken. It used to work but doesn't anymore. Music no longer continues if app is not in focus. All power saving features are disabled for this app. Songs will finish but will not advance to the next song if the app is not on the screen.
