NSMusicS is a cloud-native music server and cross-platform client designed for audiophiles and music enthusiasts seeking advanced library management and a personalized listening experience. It offers enhanced features over existing solutions like Navidrome and Jellyfin, including detailed metadata tagging, AI-driven recommendations, and a rich playback environment.

How It Works

NSMusicS utilizes a multi-component architecture, featuring an Electron-based desktop client and a Go-based backend server. The system emphasizes robust music library management, supporting remote uploads, synchronization, and detailed metadata editing with API integrations. Its recommendation engine is planned to evolve from tag clouds to sophisticated knowledge graphs and LLM integration for personalized music discovery.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Clone the repository and run npm install followed by npm run dev for development or npm run build for packaging.
• Prerequisites: Node.js v20.15.0, npm v10.4.0. MPV media player executables need to be manually placed in NSMusicS\NSMusicS-Electron\resources\mpv-x86_64-20241124. Specific better-sqlite3 native modules may require manual placement or recompilation.
• Resources: Requires sufficient disk space for music libraries and development tools.
• Documentation: NSMusicS Electron

Highlighted Details

• Supports multiple streaming servers including Navidrome, Jellyfin, and Emby.
• Advanced music metadata management with support for artist avatars, photos, and multiple song quality/lyrics versions.
• Phased implementation of AI-powered music recommendations, culminating in LLM integration.
• Planned cross-platform mobile clients (Flutter) and integration with smart home ecosystems.
