Hey all,
I wanted to share an exciting lockdown-project that I've been working on called Tempo, an open-source and lightweight music client built specifically for Subsonic servers on Android.
Tempo puts you, the user, at the center of your music listening experience. With a sleek and intuitive interface, Tempo enhances your music journey based on your listening history, randomness, and even integrates with Last.fm for optional scrobbling support.
Key Features of Tempo:
- Seamless integration with your Subsonic server.
- Clean and user-friendly interface.
- Stream music directly from your Subsonic server, with offline mode (actively being developed).
- Create, edit, and manage playlists.
- Gapless playback.
- Rudimentary Chromecast support for streaming to compatible devices.
- Optional Last.fm integration for scrobbling, if supported by your Subsonic server.
- Activate transcoding on your server to optimize streaming with a transcoding profile.
Tempo is currently in the alpha phase of development, and as the sole developer behind the project, I'm actively working on improving the app. Your understanding and patience are greatly appreciated.
If you find Tempo useful, please consider supporting the project by starring it on GitHub. Your stars help promote the app to a wider audience and encourage further development.
Check out some screenshots of Tempo here. I'm excited to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have.
Let's build Tempo into the go-to music client for Subsonic on Android, together!

Cool project, thanks for sharing! I wish you were doing iOS, there's still not a great SubSonic client there.
Out of curiosity, how are you doing the mixes based on a song? Where do you get the list of similar songs from?
Using the Subsonic API with great imagination :D
For the Instant Mix and Radio Stations section I use the getSimilarSongs endpoint to generate a mix starting from an artist, album or song. For the Best Of section I use the endpoint getTopSongs, while for the new releases I take all the albums released during the current year, sorted by date added.
If I had to write APIs from scratch, I wouldn't have done all this, but having to take advantage of the fame of Subsonic's APIs, I couldn't do otherwise.
