## What it is
Tempo is an open-source, lightweight music client for Subsonic servers, built natively for Android in Java. It streams music from a self-hosted Subsonic instance with browsing, playlists, gapless playback, offline mode, and optional Last.fm scrobbling.

## Use cases
- stream music from my subsonic server on android
- lightweight open-source subsonic client
- play my self-hosted music library offline on my phone
- android app with last.fm scrobbling for subsonic
- gapless music playback from my own server
- cast subsonic music to chromecast

## When to choose
- you self-host a Subsonic (or compatible) music server and want a native Android client
- you want a lightweight, ad-free, open-source player with Material 3 design
- you need offline listening, gapless playback, or Last.fm scrobbling
- you prefer an app driven by your listening history rather than recommendation algorithms

## When to avoid
- you don't run a Subsonic-compatible server
- you need polished Chromecast or Android Auto support (better in the GitHub build, still rudimentary)
- you want a client for streaming services like Spotify
- you need fully mature offline mode across multiple servers
