Works well with Palindrome. Has some issues with stopping playback sometimes in playlists.

Works great, by far the best free subsonic streaming client. One thing I would love to see in the future is caching for currently playing songs for low network coverage areas.

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.

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.

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

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.

App isn't stable, doesn't constantly work. It's not worked on as an actual application, can't even connect to a simple music server without buffering for ages, thanks for making me debug everything at 6am.

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.
