Subsonic is an open source, web-based media server. It is written in Java, so it can run on any operating system with Java support. Subsonic supports streaming to multiple clients simultaneously, and supports any streamable media (including MP3, AAC, and Ogg). Subsonic also supports on-the-fly media conversion (through the use of plugins) of most popular media formats, including WMA, FLAC, and more.
After a 30-day trial period, certain premium features require a $1/month subscription.[1][2]

Derivative software
Supersonic
In December 2011, the project was forked to create Supersonic, a community driven open source Git development effort with zero licensing costs and compatibility with all existing Subsonic clients through an API superset. The latest change to the Github repository was on Oct 29, 2015 in the janssonic branch.[4]
Iposonic, Supysonic
Two implementations of the Subsonic API are in Python.
Iposonic, tested with xml and jsonp clients, requires no license fees or application servers. It supports cover arts and lyrics, has a minimal footprint and supports various backends: in-memory, sqlite, MySQL Embedded and MySQL Server. It uses the Flask microframework.
Supysonic provides basic administration through a web-interface.
Madsonic
Madsonic is a fork of Subsonic that adds features and bug fixes over the main branch. This project is still being actively worked on.[5]
FutureSonic
FutureSonic is a fork of Madsonic, Subsonic and other derivatives of Subsonic project. This project is actively developed and is focused on stabilizing its code base.
MusicCabinet
MusicCabinet is designed for large music libraries. By integrating knowledge from last.fm, it adds and extends features in Subsonic. By 2013, this project has been effectively dead. Development has not continued.
