Best subsonic alternative? (piefed.social)

Hey folks,
I'm using since years subsonic to stream music to my mobile device. Subsonic and it's known alternatives like Airsonic aren't really mainained though and some existing bugs are frustrating. Can you recommend me a good alternative to stream my own music collection to my mobile device?

Navidrome uses the subsonic API but is actively developed and works great.

Ok so I just installed Navidrome and the web UI looks modern and promising. However it seems to have the same bug as other services I tried earlier: If the artist name or album name has any umlaut letters (like ä, ö, ü) then all tracks on that album are displayed twice on my mobile client (have tried substreamer, ultrasonic, tempus). Any idea what's causing that for me?

I have a lot of music using umlaut and all other kinds of accented characters, even Japanese characters, and never had issues with them. Try symfonium client and see it you have the issue. I'll check tempus with my server to see it there's anything wrong.

I'm using Navidrome and Symfonium on my phone, I have no issues with any umlaut or special characters (å ä ö, japanese, korean, etc) displaying double, did a double-check now as well. Don't think I had any issues when using tempo either. Things I would check (if not already done): Are the songs / albums tagged correctly Are multiple sources active in the client?

I'm using Navidrome with Ultrasonic and Tempo on my phone, and have no such issue.

If you use Tempo I'd recommend switching to Tempus, a fork that is actively maintained. Tempo has been unmaintained for a few months now.

Thank you, already did so, when I've skimmed this thread earlier. Tempo was my second choice so far, Ultrasonic has worked better with my OS and headphones so far (usability-wise). Will see how Tempus works out.

I don't have any solution for you, but I'm just adding some information to the conversation; I use Gonic as a server and Ultrasonic as a client and it does not have any issues displaying umlaut or any other special characters.
