## What it is
Swing Music is a self-hosted music streaming server and web-based player for your local audio files, written in Python. It provides a modern browser UI with features like daily mixes, metadata normalization, folder browsing, listening statistics, Last.fm scrobbling, and multi-user support, plus an Android client.

## Use cases
- stream my local mp3 collection from my own server
- self-hosted spotify alternative for my own music files
- music server with a beautiful web ui
- play my home music library on android and browser
- track my listening stats and scrobble to last.fm
- browse my music library by folders and albums
- docker music streaming server for home media

## When to choose
- you have your own audio files and want a fast, polished self-hosted streaming server
- you want daily mixes, recommendations, and listening statistics from your local library
- you want Docker or one-line install deployment with multi-user support
- you need folder-based browsing and duplicate track handling

## When to avoid
- you want to stream from third-party services like Spotify or Apple Music
- you need a fully native desktop player rather than a browser-based one
- you need transcoding for a wide range of formats or Subsonic API compatibility
- you need macOS support today (listed as coming soon)
