Hello Guys!
I was looking for my homelab a resource-friendly Open Source Music Streaming Server to not depend on Spotify/Apple Music, and I ran across the Project of mStream (https://mstream.io/ https://github.com/IrosTheBeggar/mStream) , which is sufficent for me (Users control, supports FLAC/mp3/wma, Playlists, transcoding using FFMPEG, drag and drop uploads.. what else?)
After running it on a docker container, at the begining I was struggling to pass the "login" phase from my G4 because has some JS magic that is not friendly with InterWeb or Aquafox..
Yesterday I saw the "sharing" Button and decided to give it a spin, and actually it creates (with your current playlist) under the /shared/ address, an URL , without the login prompt, which is the deal!
Pros:
Cons:
Give it a spin!

Pros:
- Sound quality is great
- You can download the playlist from the button, (the individual file downloads does not seem to work).
- it works with HTTPS (tested on 10.4 Tiger, may work on 10.3 Panther?)
- Setup took me <10 minutes.
Cons:
- Does not work on Safari
- CPU intensive workload
- Does not load metadata for the songs (gives errors in the UI)
Give it a spin!
