A while ago, I saw people suggesting Navidrome for self hosted music streaming.

I don't understand what's the relationship between Subsonic and Navidrome. Navidrome makes some use of Subsonic API. What does that mean?

Subsonic looks like a proprietary software. How does Navidrome, an open source (MIT) package, use their API? Is the API licensed for this?

Do I expect any Subsonic app to work perfectly with Navidrome? Or is it partial inter-compatibility?

Extra questions:

  • Recommended android app? I would like to have good offline support to select and sync music that will then be available on my phone without network

  • Podcast/audiobook support? Am currently using audiobookshelf, is this compatible at all? Not sure if any benefit even if theoretically possible.

I found a few threads where people were loving it but they were from a few years back.

I installed it but the configuration was not straightforward. Thats why I was wondering if these things are all compatible, because the other client felt totally different.. If its still a good choice I'll need to go back when I have the concentration to read about what it is wanting for set up.

I dont know what the landscape was like more then 2 years ago, which is when I got in to this, but dsub2000 honestly looks like the worst option I've come across.
