Music player server with a web-based interface inspired by Amarok 1.4
npm install groovebasinMusic player server with a web-based user interface.
Run it on a server connected to some speakers in your home or office.
Guests can control the music player by connecting with a laptop, tablet,
or smart phone. Further, you can stream your music library remotely.
Groove Basin works with your personal music library; not an external music
service. Groove Basin will never support DRM content.
Try out the live demo.
* The web client feels like a desktop app, not a web app. It predicts what the
server will do in order to hide network lag from the user.
* Auto DJ which automatically queues random songs, favoring songs
that have not been queued recently.
* Drag and drop upload. Drag and drop playlist editing. Keyboard shortcuts
for everything.
* Lazy multi-core
EBU R128 loudness scanning (tags compatible
with ReplayGain)
and automatic switching between track and album mode.
"Loudness Zen"
* Streaming support. You can listen to your music library - or share it with
your friends - even when you are not physically near your home speakers.
* MPD protocol support. This means you already have a selection of
clients which integrate with
Groove Basin. For example MPDroid.
If you're writing a new client, upgrade to the Groove Basin Protocol with
the protocolupgrade command.
* Last.fm scrobbling.
* File system monitoring. Add songs anywhere inside your music directory and
they instantly appear in your library.

When Groove Basin starts it will look for config.json in the current
directory. If not found it creates one for you with default values.
Use this to set your music library location and other settings.
It is recommended that you generate a self-signed certificate and use that
instead of using the public one bundled with this source code.

$ npm run dev
This will install dependencies, build generated files, and then start the
sever. It is up to you to restart it when you modify assets or server files.
