Stream your own music collection to any device Use any Subsonic-compatible phone app Playlists, favourites and ratings Details and cover art arrive on their own Several people, each with their own library and settings First steps Open music.tester4.test in your browser The first user becomes the admin automatically Create your account and wait for the first scan Install a Subsonic-compatible app (Subtracks or play:Sub, for example) Give it the server address: https://music.tester4.test Before you start An external hard drive is needed to keep the music files on Music files sorted into folders (Artist/Album/track.flac, for example) Add your music Navidrome reads music from the media/music folder of the drive you chose at install. Open the File manager and go to the media/music folder of that drive. Upload one folder per album there, for example as Artist/Album. Wait a little: Navidrome reads the new files by itself within an hour at most. New albums show up in the „Recently Added” list of the „Albums” menu on the left. Make a playlist You can collect your favourite songs into your own list, and the phone app sees it too. Open an album and select „Add to Playlist”. Type a name for the new list and press Enter. Select „Add”. Your lists are under „Playlists” in the menu on the left. Add a family member Everyone gets their own account, so favourites and lists stay separate. Select the profile icon at the top right and open the list of users. Select „Create”. Fill in the „Username”, „Name” and „Password” fields. Leave „Is Admin” switched off and select „Save”. Share an album with a link You can share an album even with someone who has no account. Open the album and select „Share”. You can write a short note in the „Description” field. Select „Share”: the link goes to your clipboard. Send the link to the person you want to share with. Frequently asked questions Can I switch Navidrome to Hungarian? Yes: under the profile icon at the top right, open the „Personal” page and choose Hungarian in the „Language” field. This guide uses the English menu names. Does the phone app work away from home? Yes: the music.tester4.test address works away from home too. Sign in with the same username and password as in the browser. I uploaded an album but I cannot see it. What do I do? Check that the files are in the media/music folder of the drive you chose at install. Navidrome reads the folder every hour and takes the artist and title from the details written into the files. Can I delete music from Navidrome? No: Navidrome only reads the music folder. You delete in the File manager. Is my music backed up? The box makes no backup of the media/music folder, so keep the original files somewhere else too. The „Data and backup” tab shows the backup of Navidrome's own data.
