Vibe Streamer for Windows 10 - Full description
Vibe Streamer is an open-source MP3 streaming server for people who want to share a music collection through a web browser. It runs on a Windows computer and provides a browser-based player for listening to shared audio files, while the server owner controls which users can access the collection. Rather than requiring each listener to install a dedicated player, it makes the server's music available through its web client.
The server can share files and directories, including large collections, and offers user accounts and groups for controlling access. An administrator can organize listeners into groups, assign rights, and protect selected directories. This makes it possible to keep some music private while allowing other folders to be available to a wider set of users. The web client is designed to browse and play music from the shared collection.
Setup and configuration are intended to be straightforward. SSL support can secure traffic between the server and its clients, while UPnP support can help configure a router for access from outside the local network. Last.fm scrobbling integration records listening activity with the service. The server also includes a scripting language for extending or automating server-side behavior, and its skin system allows the web interface's appearance to be changed or customized.
Vibe Streamer can suit a household or small group that wants a centrally managed music library, as well as users who want to make selected audio directories available remotely. The owner can manage access from the server rather than distributing copies of files or maintaining separate playlists for each listener. Listeners use the web client to browse and play the music they are permitted to access.
The software is free and open source. This listing is for 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11. The included standard skin is intended to support commonly used web browsers; the server also supports additional skins. Older documentation mentions Windows releases and Linux use through Wine, but the available Windows download is intended for current 64-bit Windows systems.
