When I was playing around with Sockso I decided to see if there was any more open source music servers. I found Subsonic. Subsonic is also Java based and will work on Linux, Mac, and Windows. It is not as user-friendly as Sockso. For example the standalone install availible for linux doesn’t appear to have a tray icon. I had to install in /var/subsonic or edit the subsonic.sh script to customize ports and its working directory. I also had to install lame into the /var/subsonic directory to get streaming to work the best. Overall it took me longer of poking around to figure out how to use it. However, it found all my coverart I provide with my music, which Sockso had issues with, and has extensive administration options through the web interface. To get it to run on startup I had to add it to my init scripts in Linux, and kill it via its PID which seams to be random.
