Aether is a self-hosted music server. It comes with its own web app, and it speaks the OpenSubsonic API, so you can also listen on your phone with apps like Symfonium. On top of that, it does a few things differently:
A built-in metadata editor
Fix tags and cover art in the browser, and Aether writes the changes straight back to your files. It can also identify songs by their audio fingerprint and look them up on MusicBrainz, one track or a whole album at a time.
OpenSubsonic through and through
The web app browses and plays your music through the same API any other app would use, with no special treatment. When the standard is missing something, Aether adds it as an extension that any app can pick up.
Apps never see your password
Each app gets its own login instead, which you can revoke without touching the others. For the web app, sign in with Aether’s own accounts or through your reverse proxy (Authelia, Authentik, oauth2-proxy).
Make your own libraries
Set up a library for lossless only, one for soundtracks, one for the audiobooks. Each one is a saved filter rather than a folder, so an album can show up in several, and deleting a library never touches your files.
