OpenSubsonic on Android

Atune Audio for OpenSubsonic

An OpenSubsonic client for Android that connects to compatible self-hosted music servers — including Navidrome — with lyrics, offline downloads with Pro, in-app radio, and Android Auto.

What is OpenSubsonic?

OpenSubsonic is an open specification that extends the Subsonic API for self-hosted music servers. It standardizes how clients browse libraries, stream audio, and retrieve metadata — so apps like Atune Audio can work with multiple server implementations through one protocol.

Navidrome is the most widely used OpenSubsonic server among Atune Audio users, but the protocol is implemented by other projects as well.

How Atune Audio works with OpenSubsonic

Add your server in Settings → Music Server Settings and select the OpenSubsonic-compatible option. Enter your server URL and credentials. Atune Audio syncs your music library, streams tracks, and — with Pro on supported servers — downloads music for offline listening.

Feature availability can vary by server implementation. Navidrome supports the full set of Atune Audio music features listed below; other OpenSubsonic servers may differ depending on which API endpoints they expose.

Supported features with OpenSubsonic

Library browse

Artists, albums, and playlists from OpenSubsonic-compatible servers with artwork-rich screens.

Streaming playback

Stream tracks directly from your server with queue, Now Playing, and lock-screen controls.

Offline downloads

Download music for offline listening with Atune Audio Pro on supported servers such as Navidrome.

Live lyrics

Live and fullscreen lyrics on Now Playing when your server library provides them.

In-app radio

Seed stations and radio playback from your library on supported OpenSubsonic configurations.

Quick Mix, Hidden Gems, Throwbacks, mix builders, random album, and random artist from your catalog.

Android Auto

Full in-car browse and playback with Atune Audio Pro on supported OpenSubsonic music libraries.

Search OpenSubsonic music alongside podcasts and audiobooks from other connected servers.

Cast & scrobble

Chromecast connect and optional Last.fm scrobbling for OpenSubsonic playback.

Why use Atune Audio as your OpenSubsonic client?

Dedicated Subsonic clients focus on music playback alone. Atune Audio connects OpenSubsonic servers alongside Jellyfin, Emby, and Audiobookshelf — so one app covers music, podcasts, audiobooks, and EPUB reading if you run multiple libraries.

For OpenSubsonic-only users, Atune Audio provides Android-first listening with Home discovery, lyrics, offline downloads with Pro, and Android Auto — without locking you out of adding a Jellyfin or Audiobookshelf server later.
