I never officially introduced Symfonium here and if this breaks the rules please remove the post.

So with version 6.0.0 just released Symfonium is now feature complete, to fully embrace most self hosted music scenario as it was planned to be. Took me some more time than planned :)

So Symfonium is an advanced Android music player (Paid app with free trial) that support most self hosted music solutions to fully enjoy your music anywhere and allows aggregation of multiple servers.

It currently support:

- The local storage of the phone (SDCard,...)

- Emby

- Jellyfin

- Subsonic

- OpenSubsonic (A long term effort that I started to improve Subsonic clients and servers https://github.com/opensubsonic/open-subsonic-api. Already quite a few new features for some servers)

- Kodi

- Plex

- Samba (SMB v2/v3)

- WebDAV

It's an offline first solution with tons of features, like AutoEQ support, smart filters, personal mixes, transcoding, replaygain, ...

But I don't want to make this post a long list of features, just wanted more people to be aware of this relatively new music player dedicated to self hosting.

And if there's other well established music self hosting solution with a proper API do not hesitate to ask for support so I can look into it.

Symfonium is one of the very few apps I have bought during my 10 plus years as an Android user. It's an absolute gem that really ticks all the boxes.

Sadly im iOS user :/

Love it, amazing app that’s very well designed (not just good-looking, which it also is). I use it to play from Jellyfin, and kinda-offline (via the convenient cache function) to save data ;)

I recently started having an issue when switching between 2 BT outputs, having to force-close it, do you want bug reports in your forum, or elsewhere?

[–] Tolriq@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes proper bug report with logs on the forum, but the app have nothing really related to BT, was you phone updated to Android 14?

[–] CWagner@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nope, no Android update, just started happening, I think between Friday and Monday at some point. Will post :)

I bought the app this year to use it with my navidrome instance, gotta say I love the design and functionality. Thanks a lot for your work.

Why doesn't this exist for iOS?

[–] Icannotfindnow@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any chance of getting this on F-Droid? I currently use subtracks for my Navidrome instance but would love to try this out.

[–] Tolriq@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No, it's a closed source app. And even then it uses closed source Google libraries that are incompatible with F-Droid.

I'd installed this yesterday and have already bought it - lovely work, thanks. My only request would be perhaps support long-press tool tips to explain what the icons do.

I expected I'd like it, because I also paid for your Yatse many moons ago.
