## What it is
LMS is a self-hosted music streaming server written in C++ that lets users access their music collection from anywhere via a web interface. It supports the Subsonic/OpenSubsonic API, MusicBrainz metadata, ListenBrainz scrobbling, transcoding, and audio-similarity-based recommendations.

## Use cases
- stream my music collection from my own server
- self-hosted subsonic-compatible music server
- run a music streaming server on a raspberry pi
- access my home music library from anywhere via web
- get music recommendations based on audio similarity
- scrobble listens to listenbrainz or last.fm

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight self-hosted music server that runs well on low-power hardware like a Raspberry Pi
- you need Subsonic/OpenSubsonic API compatibility to use existing mobile clients
- you want rich metadata handling with MusicBrainz identifiers, release groups, and multi-valued tags
- you want built-in recommendations, radio mode, and transcoding

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured desktop music player with local playback rather than a streaming server
- you want a plug-and-play appliance with no server administration
- you need video or podcast-heavy media management beyond music and basic podcasts
