Description

Browse and stream music from a Navidrome server — or any Subsonic API compatible server directly inside foobar2000.

Features

  • Browse your full library: Artists, Albums, Songs, with search.
  • Add a whole album or artist to the playlist in one click; double-click a song to play.
  • Native navidrome:// URI scheme: playlist entries store a stable URI instead of a transient stream URL, so saved playlists survive credential rotation or a server URL change. The stream URL is resolved at playback time.
  • Streaming runs through foobar2000's built-in HTTP input, so MP3, FLAC, OGG and other formats decode through the normal pipeline.
  • Album art fetched from the server, shown in Now Playing and playlists.
  • Token-based authentication (salted MD5); credentials stored in foobar2000's config.
  • Integrates under Preferences > Media Library > Library viewers.

Architecture

  • Windows 64-bit
  • macOS
  • Windows 32-bit*
  • Windows ARM (ARM64EC)*
    * future? no release build(s) currently available
