Meelo

Meelo is a self-hosted music server and app. It works similarly to Plex, Jellyfin, Koel and Black Candy, but focuses on flexibility, browsing and listening experiences. Actually, Meelo is designed for music collectors.

While the software wants to be a flexible as possible, it requires a little bit of setup. However, once everything is ready, you will just have to sit back, relax, and enjoy your music.

Meelo has all the basic features you might expect from a music player/server (playback, browsing, search, playlists, libraries ...). But it comes with a handful of features that make it unique :star_struck:

• Music Videos are first-class citizens
• Access them directly from an album's, artist's or song's page
• We also differentiate music video from interviews, behind-the-scenes, trailers...
• Identifies B-Sides
• Meelo shows you any tracks that could be related to an album directly on the album's page!
• ... and Rare tracks
• And show them on the artist's page, so that these rare gems do not get lost and forgotten!
• Automatic 'featuring' and duet detection
• Albums have releases
• Meaning that you can have multiple versions of a single album
• But only its main version would appear on browsing pages
• Of course, you can still access its other versions, directly from the album's page
• Songs have tracks
• It is pretty much the same as for albums and releases
• No duplicated songs when browsing your library!
• Songs have versions
• Album and Song types
• Finding instrumental songs or live recordings has never been this simple!
• Filter Songs that are exclusive to an album (for compilation albums only)
• Supports all formats!
• Thanks to transcoding and the way we parse files, any audio and video format is virtually supported
• (Note: Transcoding is only used when the file format is not supported in the browser)
• Flexible metadata parsing
• Use either the embedded metadata or the file's name (or both!) to extract metadata
• Also works with album covers!
• Get genres, descriptions, and ratings using MusicBrainz, Genius, Wikipedia and many other providers!
• Push Scrobbles to ListenBrainz and LastFM!
• Download (synced) lyrics or get them from embedded metadata and .lrc files
