thinksynth builds sounds out of a graph of DSP nodes — oscillators, filters, envelopes, delays and arithmetic — described in a small language and rendered in real time. Patches assign those graphs to MIDI channels, so one instrument can layer several voices.
Every node is a plugin, and the set that ships covers subtractive and FM synthesis, resonators, waveshaping and a range of filters. New ones are ordinary shared libraries dropped into the plugin directory.
Play a music collection that lives on a computer at home, from anywhere. It can be your computer or a friend’s. No port forwarding, no VPN, no account and no cloud copy of your files.

music streaming server / free-software subsonic server API implementation
Features:
- browsing by folder (keeping your full tree intact) see here
- browsing by tags (using taglib – supports mp3, opus, flac, ape, m4a, wav, etc.)
- on-the-fly audio transcoding and caching (requires ffmpeg) (thank you spijet)
- subsonic jukebox mode, for gapless server-side audio playback instead of streaming (thank you lxea)
- support for podcasts (thank you lxea)
- pretty fast scanning (with my library of ~50k tracks, initial scan takes about 10m, and about 6s after incrementally)
- multiple users, each with their own transcoding preferences, playlists, top tracks, top artists, etc.
- last.fm scrobbling
- listenbrainz scrobbling (thank you spezifisch, lxea)
- artist similarities and biographies from the last.fm api
- support for multi valued tags like albumartists and genres (see more)
- a web interface for configuration (set up last.fm, manage users, start scans, etc.)
- support for the album-artist tag, to not clutter your artist list with compilation album appearances
- written in go, so lightweight and suitable for a raspberry pi, etc. (see ARM images below)
- newer salt and token auth
- tested on airsonic-refix, amperfy, symfonium, dsub, jamstash, music-assistant, subsonic.el, sublime music, soundwaves, stmp, termsonic, tempus, strawberry, and ultrasonic
Gigboy is a web app for musicians and bands to write, organize, and rehearse songs from — built on the open ChordPro format, so nothing you write is ever locked into a proprietary format or someone else’s server. It’s self-hosted only: you run it on your own machine, NAS, or VPS with one Docker Compose command, and your band’s setlists, recordings, and press kit live in your own database, not a startup’s.
No subscriptions, no per-seat pricing, no feature paywalls — every account gets full access.

mStream is a self-hosted music server. Self-hosting means you run the server software on a computer you own. mStream is lightweight and can be run on old hardware and boards like the Raspberry Pi.
Why host your own?
- Own your music. No ads, and nothing gets removed from your library.
- Quality. Stream FLAC and lossless files uncompressed.
- Privacy. Streaming services log your listening habits. Your server never snitches on you.
- Good for artists. Buy music directly and the money goes to them.

A modern mp3gain / aacgain replacement written in Rust. A native GUI application (mp3rgui) is available for users who prefer a graphical interface.
mp3rgain adjusts MP3 and AAC volume without re-encoding by modifying the global_gain field in each frame. This preserves audio quality while achieving permanent volume changes.
