Installation is very simple:

wget downloads.sourceforge.net/project/subsonic/subsonic/4.0.1/subsonic-4.0.1.deb && sudo apt-get -y install openjdk-6-jre lame flac faad vorbis-tools ffmpeg python-mutagen && sudo dpkg -i subsonic-4.0.1.deb





What are the packages for:

openjdk-6-jre - Subsonic is based on java, so install the java machine.

lame flac faad vorbis-tools ffmpeg - for transcoding (installation is optional).

python-mutagen - for fixing tags (installation is optional).



After everything is installed go to the web interface http: // host: 4040

user - admin password - admin







Configure music catalogs:







After the first indexation of the catalog, we see the added music (including from folders with names from Cyrillic characters) and the incorrect encoding of some songs:







After rebooting the computer with Subsonic, it does not display folders with names from Cyrillic characters:







This is solved simply, you can manually, but I made it a script. Create a script that will be



rename directories and files to translit and correct the encoding (for this you need python-mutagen).

# *.mp3

Add a task to cron every day at 18:00 to run the script as root:

* 18 * * * root cd /home/zhek/ss && /home/zhek/renamer.sh



All settings are made, you can manually run the script to check everything at once.

cd /home/zhek/ss && /home/zhek/renamer.sh

and index Subsonic:







You can enjoy music, for this we use the same web interface settings before this user https: // host: 4040:







UPD: On the manufacturer's website these features are described:

• Broadcasting on a mobile device under the control of the AndroidOS Subsonic Android app .
• Two iPhone programs are also available: Z-Subsonic and iSub .
• Or you can use the Air, SubAir application .
• Control Subsonic using your PDA or mobile phone using the WAP interface.
• Supports control from multiple players.
• Upload files from / to Subsonic with the ability to archive / unzip files.

Support for most formats

• Supports MP3, OGG, AAC and many other formats of audio and video broadcast via HTTP.
• It is possible to convert different formats to MP3 on-the-fly.
• Works with most network-enabled players, such as Winamp, iTunes, XMMS, VLC, MusicMatch and Windows Media Player. There is also a built-in Flash player.
• Parsing and editing tags MP3, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WMA and APE files using the library Jaudiotagger.
• Playlists can save and restore. Supported formats are M3U, PLS and XSPF. Saved playlists are also available as podcasts.
• Changing the bitrate on-the-fly using the LAME encoder. Conveniently, if you have a small channel.
• Enables the SHOUTcast protocol. Players that support this protocol (including Winamp, iTunes, and XMMS) display the current artist, song, and other metadata.

Personally, I tried to use it only with Aimp and Windows Media Player, because there is no communicator at hand
