## What it is
Groove Basin is a self-hosted music player server with a responsive web-based client, designed to run on a machine connected to speakers. It supports streaming your library remotely, Auto DJ, EBU R128/ReplayGain loudness scanning, and MPD protocol compatibility.

## Use cases
- self-host a music player for home or office speakers
- control music playback from a phone or laptop browser
- stream my personal music library remotely
- replace MPD with a web-based music server
- auto-queue random songs with an Auto DJ
- normalize loudness across tracks with ReplayGain tags

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted player for your own music files, not a streaming service
- you need MPD protocol compatibility to reuse existing MPD clients
- you want multi-user web control of a shared speaker setup
- you care about loudness normalization (EBU R128/ReplayGain)

## When to avoid
- you want to stream DRM or third-party music services
- you need a polished desktop or mobile native app
- you need active development or frequent updates
- you run a non-Linux server without willingness to build native dependencies from source
