Self-hosted Spotify alternative with AI DJ Mode, smart discovery, and zero tracking

Main Description

Vynl is self-hosted music streaming that combines the privacy of owning your library with the intelligence of AI-powered discovery — minus the subscriptions and algorithmic manipulation.

🎧 AI DJ Mode

Tell it the vibe, duration, and genre. AI builds a proper DJ set with harmonic mixing, energy curves, and smooth transitions. Like having a personal DJ for parties, workouts, or chill sessions.

🧠 AI-Powered Discovery

Rate tracks to build your taste profile. Get recommendations from YOUR library, not corporate playlists. AI learns what you actually like, not what makes streaming services the most money.

🔊 Sonos Integration

Control and group your Sonos speakers directly from Vynl. Multi-room audio without subscriptions.

🎵 Smart Playlists

Auto-generated playlists based on mood, activity, and time of day. "Heavy Rotation" tracks your favorites automatically.

🔐 Privacy First

Your music, your server, your data. No tracking, no profiling, no selling your listening habits. Works completely offline.

🚀 Easy Setup

Docker Compose deployment in 5 minutes. Tailscale-native for secure remote access (no port forwarding). Beautiful web UI + iOS app coming soon.

Perfect for:

• Music lovers who want control over their library

• Ex-Spotify users tired of $120/year forever

• Privacy-conscious self-hosters

• Sonos owners looking for a better experience

• Anyone with music collections gathering dust

Why Vynl beats the alternatives:

• Spotify: Subscription fees, algorithmic manipulation, no privacy

• Plex/Jellyfin: Your files but no AI intelligence

• Navidrome: Great server, but missing discovery and AI features

Own your music. Own your data. Own your experience.
