Web based media manager that suits me best – Ampache

Grudzień 20th, 2010 6 comments

As I posted earlier I was testing couple of solutions to find web based media manager that suits me best. It took four days but finally I decided to use one. The winner is Ampache.

Last battle was fought between Ampache and Subsonic. Subsonic has great interface but advertisements and needed resources made it less appealing to me.

My setup uses two FreeBSD Jails : first for Nginx serving Ampache, second for WebDav (to upload music in convenient way). It works very well and damn fast.

I am searching for web based media manager to organise my small music collection. I used Jinzora in the past and didn’t look at other solutions so it’s time to evaluate them now before move is made.

Required features (hopefully it’s short):

  • web based solution
  • manage music collection
  • podcasts download
  • stream music to my media player
  • star rating system
  • PostgreSQL database support (preferable)
  • open source

Software to evaluate:

It will take some time but I am quite excited to checkout software mentioned above.
