## What it is
Navidrome is a self-hosted, open-source web-based music collection server and streamer written in Go. It indexes your local music files and serves them through a modern web player and any Subsonic/OpenSubsonic-compatible mobile client, acting like a personal Spotify.

## Use cases
- self-host my own music streaming service
- stream my local music collection to my phone
- replace Spotify with my own music library
- run a lightweight music server on a Raspberry Pi
- serve a large FLAC music library over the web
- share playlists and music with friends and family
- use Subsonic-compatible mobile apps with my own server

## When to choose
- you have a tagged digital music collection you want to stream anywhere
- you want very low resource usage on old hardware or a Raspberry Pi
- you already use Subsonic/Airsonic/Madsonic clients and want a fast, actively maintained server
- you need multi-user support, per-user access controls, and on-the-fly transcoding

## When to avoid
- your music files are untagged and you rely on folder-based browsing, which Navidrome does not support
- you need a full media server for video and photos rather than music only
- you want a hosted managed service without running your own server
