• Web: Aurial, Subplayer, Airsonic Frontend, Jamstash and Subfire
• Desktop: Sublime Music (Linux/macOS)
• CLI: Jellycli (Windows/Linux)
• Other:
  • Navidrome Kodi Plugin

For more options, look at the list of clients maintained by the Airsonic project. Please open an issue if you have any trouble with the client of your choice.

Road map

This project is in active development. Expect a more polished experience and new features/releases on a frequent basis. Some upcoming features planned:

• Last.FM scrobbling
• Smart/dynamic playlists (similar to iTunes)
• Jukebox mode
• Sharing links to albums/songs/playlists
