What is Kima?

A self-hosted, on-demand audio streaming platform that brings the Spotify experience to your personal music library.

Lidify is built for music lovers who want the convenience of streaming services without sacrificing ownership of their library. Point it at your music collection, and Lidify handles the rest: artist discovery, personalized playlists, podcast subscriptions, and seamless integration with tools you already use like Lidarr and Audiobookshelf.

Features:

Your Music, Your Way

  • Stream your library - FLAC, MP3, AAC, OGG, and other common formats work out of the box
  • Automatic cataloging - Lidify scans your library and enriches it with metadata from MusicBrainz and Last.fm
  • Audio transcoding - Stream at original quality or transcode on-the-fly (320kbps, 192kbps, or 128kbps)
  • Ultra-wide support - Library grid scales up to 8 columns on large displays

Discovery and Playlists

  • Made For You mixes - Programmatically generated playlists based on your library:
    • Era mixes (Your 90s, Your 2000s, etc.)
    • Genre mixes
    • Top tracks
    • Rediscover forgotten favorites
    • Similar artist recommendations
  • Library Radio Stations - One-click radio modes for instant listening:
    • Shuffle All (your entire library)
    • Workout (high energy tracks)
    • Discovery (lesser-played gems)

    • Dynamic genre and decade stations generated from your library
  • Discover Weekly - Weekly playlists of new music tailored to your listening habits (requires Lidarr)
  • Artist recommendations - Find similar artists based on what you already love
  • Artist name resolution - Smart alias lookup via Last.fm (e.g., "of mice" ? "Of Mice & Men")
  • Discography sorting - Sort artist albums by year or date added
  • Deezer previews - Preview tracks you don't own before adding them to your library
  • Vibe matching - Find tracks that match your current mood (see The Vibe System)
