# NovaSonic
A self-hosted music streaming PWA and Android app for Navidrome / Subsonic-compatible servers.
Built with Vite + vanilla ES modules, served via nginx in Docker.
---
## Features
### Music Library
- Stream music from your Navidrome / Subsonic library
- Browse artists, albums, playlists, starred tracks, and random picks
- Sort and filter views with chip filters
- Search / filter bar inside playlist detail and favorites (instant, client-side)
- Synced and plain lyrics via LRCLIB (auto-fetched per track)
- Play count display — optional toggle in Settings
- Star and context menu on every song row
### Artist Pages
- Full-bleed hero card — artist photo as portrait + blurred background (desktop); full-bleed image with name overlay (mobile)
- Bio, similar artists, top songs pulled from Last.fm via Navidrome
- Concert events via Ticketmaster (upcoming shows with venue, date, ticket link)
- Albums cross-referenced against iTunes catalog — shows what's downloaded, partially downloaded, or missing
- Quick actions: play top songs, shuffle all, open concerts
### Playback
- Queue management with shuffle, repeat (all / one), and radio mode (endless random)
- Spotify-style shuffle — pre-shuffles the full queue so every song plays exactly once
- Now Playing overlay with swipe-to-dismiss
- Gapless-style playback — next track pre-buffered 60 seconds before current track ends
- Lock screen / notification media controls (Android / iOS / desktop)
- Scrobbling — reported to Navidrome (configurable: 15 s / 30 s / ⅓ / ⅔ / end)
### Discovery
- iTunes / Last.fm integration — charts, global search, 30-second previews, similar artists, recommendations
- Song Importer — paste a Spotify, YouTube, YouTube Music, or SoundCloud link to preview and download tracks
### Downloads (yt-dlp backend)
- Download individual tracks, full albums, or entire artists
- Sources: YouTube Music (primary), YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify (via importer)
- iTunes enrichment — album, year, track number, genre, 1000×1000 cover art
- Duplicate detection — skips tracks already present on the server
- Standard filename: `01 - Artist - Title.ext`, organised into `AlbumArtist/Album/` folders
### Metadata Editor
- Edit title, artist, album artist, album, genre, year, track number, disc number
- Update embedded cover art via URL or file upload
- File renamed and moved automatically on save
- Navidrome rescan triggered after every save
### Playlists
- Create, edit, and delete playlists
- Edit name, description, cover art, public/private toggle
- Add / remove tracks; reorder via drag and drop
### Audiobookshelf Integration
- Browse and stream audiobooks from your Audiobookshelf server
- Chapters list, playback speed, sleep timer, progress sync
### App
- PWA — installable on Android / iOS / desktop
- Android APK — native WebView wrapper with Media3 / ExoPlayer backend
- Native OS notification with skip buttons
- Pre-buffers last played track on cold start for instant resume
- Artwork pre-warming so notification never shows blank cover
- Multiple color themes, dark mode, mobile-first responsive layout
- German UI

## Setup
### 1. Clone and configure
```bash
git clone <repo>
cd NovaSonic
cp .env.example .env
```
Edit `.env`:
```env
NAVIDROME_URL=https://music.yourdomain.com
BACKEND_URL=https://novasonic-api.yourdomain.com
MUSIC_PATH=/srv/navidrome/music # absolute path to your music folder on the host
AUDIO_FMT=mp3 # mp3 | flac | opus | best
AUDIO_QUALITY=0 # 0 = best (yt-dlp)
MAX_PARALLEL=2
DOWNLOAD_BACKEND=auto # ytdlp | squid | auto
SQUID_QUALITY=mp3 # mp3 | flac | hi-res
TICKETMASTER_API_KEY= # optional — free key from developer.ticketmaster.com
```
### 2. Start
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
This starts both the frontend (nginx on port 8080) and the backend (Node.js on port 3700). Route both ports through your reverse proxy.
### 3. First launch
1. Open the app and enter your Navidrome server URL, username and password
2. Optionally add a Last.fm API key in Settings for recommendations and artist bios
3. Optionally connect Audiobookshelf in Settings to stream audiobooks
