musikcube
Streaming audio server with Linux/macOS/Windows/Android clients.
A terminal‑based audio engine runs library, player and streaming server written in C++ that runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Raspberry Pi. It scans files, indexes tags, supports gapless and cross‑fading playback, manages play queues and playlists, and can handle libraries of hundreds of thousands of tracks. The built‑in streaming server exposes a WebSocket on port 7905 for metadata and an HTTP endpoint on port 7906 for audio, optionally transcoding data, and can be accessed by third‑party clients.
Clients include a native Android application that connects to the server for playback or remote control, and the same server can be used by any front‑end via a documented remote API. The project also provides a lightweight C++ SDK (musikcore) for developers to embed the playback core in other applications.
The software is self‑hostable, free of subscription, open‑source under a BSD‑3‑Clause license, and distributed as binaries or source for easy installation on desktop and embedded platforms.
