Its developed under GPL V3 so it getting enshitified in the same way a lot of other applications are going is much more limited. Not impossible but I imagine if they go to change the licence and shift it to a paid product you'd see a fork made pretty quickly.

    Your fears are warranted, but navidrome is built as a server for the subsonic streaming api (opensonic) and there are a few projects out there doing the same, so there is natural competition there.

    The releases are clear and well-defined,

    I've been using it for a few years, it's been great.

    oh damn. didn't think of that. fork it to hell and back

    rapheson music server uses opensnsonic API, been keeping my eye on that one.

    i used gonic at first and loved that it lets you see the folders. but navidrome is slick
