## What it is
Gonic is a free-software Subsonic server API implementation written in Go for self-hosted music streaming. It serves your local music library to Subsonic-compatible clients with transcoding, podcasts, scrobbling, and a web admin interface.

## Use cases
- self-host a subsonic-compatible music server
- stream my home music library to my phone
- transcode flac to opus on the fly for streaming
- scrobble plays to last.fm and listenbrainz
- listen to podcasts through a subsonic client
- run a lightweight music server on a raspberry pi

## When to choose
- you already use Subsonic clients like DSub, Symfonium, or Sublime Music
- you want a lightweight, low-resource server that keeps your folder structure intact
- you need on-the-fly transcoding via ffmpeg and multi-user support

## When to avoid
- you want a full-featured web player UI rather than an API server for external clients
- you need built-in music purchases, uploads, or sharing features
- you prefer an all-in-one media server covering video as well

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, audio-processing, streaming
- domain: media, self-hosted, audio
- platform: self-hosted, go
- tags: subsonic, music-streaming, transcoding, lastfm, listenbrainz, podcasts, jukebox, linux, docker
