A premium, cross-platform music player for self-hosted media servers. Plex · Jellyfin · Navidrome · Subsonic · Emby · Google Drive · iCloud. No subscriptions, no tracking, no accounts. Coming soon. kontrolemusic.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mpkuvwnzdz2xTwo new Navidrome clients this weekend: Ferrosonic (Rust terminal, PipeWire) and Nokkvi (Rust/Iced desktop, GPU visualizers). Both Linux-only. New apps ship weekly — yet nothing bridges desktop and mobile, native and polished. Cross-platform is the gap we're closing. #SelfHosted #MusicOwnership01 Jul 2026 06:22 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpkuvwnzdz2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mpfsxw43nq2pPlexamp's creator left Plex. The benchmark self-hosted music player — the thing keeping people on Plex — is now a side project. Plex builds a streaming social hub. We're building the player your library deserves. No subscription. No corporate pivot. #MusicOwnership #OwnYourMusic29 Jun 2026 06:04 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpfsxw43nq2phttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mpdcnjqd6i2iTwo new Navidrome clients this weekend: Ferrosonic (Rust terminal, PipeWire) and Nokkvi (Rust/Iced desktop).

The migration wave is cresting — and your library doesn't raise prices. Building the player that makes owning yours effortless. #MusicOwnership #OwnYourMusic27 Jun 2026 12:03 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpbg4kaets2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mozankj5ww2wThis month alone: YouTube Premium +$2/mo. Spotify +$1/mo. Plex x3 to $750. Amazon Music loses ad-free. Each is annoying. The pattern: streaming only goes up. Your library doesn't raise prices. Kontrole is building the player that treats your library like yours. #MusicOwnership #OwnYourMusic24 Jun 2026 06:04 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mozankj5ww2whttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mou7irah7223Someone on r/selfhosted just asked: is music preservation a good reason to self-host? Short answer: yes. Your library isn't tied to a company's bottom line. It doesn't disappear when a price hike hits. Playing that library beautifully is what we're building. #MusicOwnership #SelfHosted22 Jun 2026 06:00 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mou7irah7223https://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3morpcklwtj2vTwo new Navidrome clients landed yesterday: Cassette (iOS/macOS) and Wavio (Android). Both single-platform, same day. The pace keeps accelerating — 12 apps updated since June 17. Every launch proves demand and the cross-platform gap. Building that bridge. #SelfHosted #MusicOwnership21 Jun 2026 06:05 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3morpcklwtj2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3momobe6jbj2wYouTube Premium just hit $15.99/mo — and subscribers' bills are landing right now. Your self-hosted music library doesn't raise prices. No ads. No features removed. Just your music, always. That's the difference between owning and renting. #MusicOwnership #OwnYourMusic19 Jun 2026 06:03 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3momobe6jbj2whttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mohnebwall2kApple Music gets AI AutoMix in iOS 27. Self-hosted Navidrome gets AudioMuse sonic similarity. Smart music discovery is arriving in two worlds — neither has a cross-platform player for your own library. That's the gap. Building the bridge. No subscription. #MusicOwnership #SelfHosted #Navidrome17 Jun 2026 06:04 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mohnebwall2khttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mof4vevkdo22July 1: Plex triples lifetime to $750. July 2: Amazon Prime Music adds ads, kills downloads. Two days. Two corporate moves. One message: your music isn't safe with them. Building a different path — own your library, play it beautifully, no subscription. #MusicOwnership #OwnYourMusic16 Jun 2026 06:04 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mof4vevkdo22https://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mocmfca5jf2pYour $750 Plex lifetime pass funds social features for movies — not better music. Plex just launched a streaming discovery hub. You're paying for Netflix aggregation, not your library. Building a player that actually prioritizes your music. No subscription. No pivot. #MusicOwnership #OwnYourMusic15 Jun 2026 06:03 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mocmfca5jf2phttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mo5lt7dabh2vDusting off your 20-year-old Last.fm account after leaving Spotify is a whole mood. People are buying albums again, self-hosting, scrobbling for discovery. The bridge between owning your music and discovering new music? That's what we're building. #MusicOwnership #MusicDiscovery13 Jun 2026 06:10 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo5lt7dabh2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mo32zvuhvv2wr/selfhosted is buzzing about AudioMuse-AI + Navidrome. People are getting Plexamp-level discovery from their own library. The server has the goods. The client polish doesn't. Building a native player that pairs with your server. Your music. No sub. #BuildInPublic #MusicOwnership #SelfHosted12 Jun 2026 06:04 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo32zvuhvv2whttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mnw6ncpr2k2wNavidrome 0.62 ships AudioMuse sonic similarity — sound-based recs for your self-hosted library are here. The server side is ready. Now we need a client that makes discovery feel native across every device. No subscription. That's the gap we're closing. #SelfHosted #MusicOwnership #Navidrome10 Jun 2026 07:25 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnw6ncpr2k2whttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mntjm5qxve22Google open-sourced Magenta RealTime 2 — a music AI that runs in real-time on your laptop. 2.4B params, sub-200ms latency, fully local. The future of music AI is open, not cloud-locked. This is the world we're building for your music library. #MusicAI #OpenSource #LocalFirst09 Jun 2026 06:03 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mntjm5qxve22https://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mnqzcu36ql2tThe self-hosted music ecosystem now has 60+ Navidrome-compatible clients — and more launch every week. Yet no cross-platform player feels native everywhere. Every new client proves demand. The gap proves opportunity. #SelfHosted #MusicOwnership08 Jun 2026 06:07 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnqzcu36ql2thttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mnlxzct4f62s11 Navidrome clients updated this week alone. Gelly (Rust/Linux). Ratune (terminal). Shelv (auto-generated playlists). All single-platform. Every new client proves demand — and the gap for something truly cross-platform. #SelfHosted #MusicOwnership06 Jun 2026 06:00 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnlxzct4f62shttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mngx4zwsm22dPeople are literally begging for Plexamp's sonic analysis in self-hosted players right now. AudioMuse-AI exists but no polished client integrates it natively. The gap between *owning* your music and *discovering* from it is the last wall. We're taking it down. #MusicOwnership #MusicDiscovery04 Jun 2026 06:01 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mngx4zwsm22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mnehgjlntt2y"Self-hosted music still sucks in 2026" is resonating hard. The pain: a single track requires an album-first workflow from 2005. Music ownership should mean curating songs, not archiving albums. Building a discovery layer that respects how people actually listen. #MusicDiscovery #SelfHosted03 Jun 2026 06:15 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnehgjlntt2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mn7g4wf4te2nRewriting Kontrole's audio engine. Flutter has 6 streaming packages — only 2 handle gapless across all platforms. Linux pipewire cost me a full day. Worth it when your library plays seamlessly. Building in public. #BuildInPublic #FlutterDev #MusicOwnership01 Jun 2026 06:08 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mn7g4wf4te2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/kontrole.bsky.social/post/3mn6llaggf62zThe most polished self-hosted music player is Plexamp — but you're paying $750 to access your own library. That's rent, not ownership. The ecosystem is exploding with new clients, but there's still room for something polished, cross-platform, and yours. Building that. #MusicOwnership31 May 2026 22:13 +0000at://did:plc:pclhtpxtvuga7bfakb7peffo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mn6llaggf62z
