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.

This app helps you to play and improvise chords whilst a MIDI file or audio source is being played. It does this by updating a rolling display to map the chord notes to a piano keyboard. It can also dynamically assign notes or chords to keys on a MIDI or PC keyboard.
Synchronisation is achieved automatically from a MIDI file. An audio file (e.g. MP3) can be synchronised and saved using the program.
Chords and major/minor keys can be extracted from the MIDI file using a configurable tool that analyses the MIDI file. Chords, keys, and time signatures can also be created or updated manually – this allows you to play along with an audio source without requiring a MIDI file.
The program contains a sequencer-style display that can be used to control the volume, panning, muting, solo’ing and patching of the tracks of the MIDI file.
Audio can be rendered with the program’s builtin synthesizer (using SoundFonts), or an external synthesizer.
