Ampache is a web application for audio and video streaming coupled with a file manager, allowing you to access your music and videos from anywhere on almost any connected device. With over ten years of history and an active community, it is a free, self-hosted alternative to streaming platforms.

Ampache relies on metadata (embedded tags and file naming) to present a collection that is already organized in a useful way: it is not a media organizer, but a tool that highlights a library you manage yourself. It offers playlists, smart lists, on-the-fly transcoding, and listening statistics.

Thanks to its Subsonic-compatible API, Ampache integrates with a wide ecosystem of mobile and desktop applications, allowing you to listen to your own collection anywhere. It is a reference open-source project for anyone who wants to broadcast their media library with full autonomy.
