It handles large libraries exceptionally well, and picks up album art as cover.jpg, or folder.jpg etc. Best thing about Subsonic in my opinion is that it can rely on your folder structure for navigation, and is not tied completely to ID tags for organisation. However, there is a fork of Subsonic called Madsonic, which I believe is completely free.īut yeah, it's great for getting my music on the move, I use the Android app called Dsub and can connect to my server from anywhere using a url. If you want to check out Subsonic be aware that some of the features need the 'premium' service, which is a small subscription fee. I paid a small fee back in the day, like £10 and have the premium features as a lifetime subscription. Subsonic is pretty great if you have a large library. Plex used to be crappy for Music so there used to be no comparison. I'm not sure if it's better than Plex, I heard Plex got an overhaul with music but I haven't tried it yet.

I don't see how anybody would be compelled to use them.Ĭool! Never hear of MusicBee before, will check it out Also subsonic looks interesting (always wanted to make my music server) is it better than plex? Both seem underdeveloped, simplistic and lacking in any sort of options. I briefly tested Groove, and their FIlm & TV thing. Plus it goes perfectly with my Subsonic server, I have my music files set up in a particular manner to suit Subsonic. Good choice on returning to Foobar, personally I use MusicBee, which is awesome btw, looks great (skinned) and has literally all the options you could think of. WMP is and always has been the biggest P.O.S Its like they designed the player to annoy people! Every time I install windows I have to always make sure I disable WMP automatic info retrieval before I load my music, just in case I have to use it and it messes up my collection. Now I have to get album art again :angry. Just opened up WMP to check if it is just groove that doesn't recognize the art, and WMP resized my album art. If it's not resolved soon I will take my music, and my storage, and go elsewhere.Still happens with WMP, Groove does not though. I really hope that Microsoft fixes this because I see no reason to use two Microsoft Programs - Groove and OneDrive, which are so incompatible with each other. YOU CANNOT EDIT MUSIC THAT IS STORED ON ONEDRIVE!!!!!!!! I am quite certain that people are having a problem not seeing what you are saying because they store their music on OneDrive. Then you will see the songs in an album (If you press Album on the side of Groove Music.Fill in the boxes (They will say Unknown Artist or Unknown Album).Then click the box with the pencil on the corner.Somewhere on the top, you will find 3 dots placed horizontally.
