Meelo (v3.12.0) - Music Server focused on UI & Metadata
Good day!
Over a year ago, I made a post here about Meelo, which had received a lot of positive attention. A few things have changed since, and I thought a lil' update wouldn't hurt :)
Meelo is a self-hosted music server, that focuses on UI and metadata integration. It supports duplicates, songs grouping (remixes, instrumentals, etc.), album types (studio, live, compilations, etc.), Music Videos, and other cool stuff.
Since my last post (around v3.1.0), new features were added:
- Meelo now has a cross-platform app for mobile devices (Android, iOS)
- The APK is available on the release page. The IPA is also available through TestFlight (public invite link on GitHub)
- I am investigating how to add support for Android TV
- Support local (plain/synced) lyrics (embedded or .lrc files)
- Using face detection (OpenCV) to get 'better' thumbnails for videos
- Support Record Labels and Areas (using Musicbrainz)
Future work include better support for Non-ASCII names, downloading songs for offline playback, crossfade, ChromeCast support, and integrating even more metadata.
If you self-host music, give Meelo a go! If you have any suggestions or issues, I try to be as reactive as possible on GitHub!
Note: AI is not part of my workflow. I'd rather pay a licence for publishing the app on Apple devices than a subscription for LLMs. Meelo is a passion project before anything else, and not coding it myself would take all the fun out of it.
