Subsonic<\/a> is a Music and Video Streaming Server similar to Plex<\/a>\u00a0(install tutorial here<\/a>) and Kodi. Whether you use it as an alternative to Plex or in conjunction, read on to learn how to install Subsonic Media Server on Ubuntu Desktop 14.04. In my home setup, I prefer to use Subsonic for music streaming, Plex for video streaming, and Piwigo<\/a>\u00a0(install tutorial here<\/a>) for photo galleries. Therefore, each type of media can be separated and controlled with different user access.<\/p>\n

The main reason for Subsonic being a music streaming server is that it recently changed from a one time donation to subscription model, removing video streaming from its free version. While its subscription is a low $1\/month, because Plex already excels at streaming video, losing that function is not problematic. Furthermore, I never used it with any mobile apps to conserve mobile data. \u00a0However, if these features are important, consider subscribing to Subsonic’s premium features when the trial expires.<\/p>\n
