Ampache

The Music app contains an Ampache compatible server. However, it does not function with all the client applications which are advertised to be compatible with Ampache. This may be because of errors in the clients or because the Music app may implement different version of the Ampache interface than what is expected by a specific client. Furthermore, the Music app does not implement the whole Ampache interface but only a large subset of it.

NOTE: Ampache doesn't work on Nextcloud versions 20.0.0 - 20.0.4 because of the issue https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/23544. If you are using NC 20, be sure to update to 20.0.5 or newer before setting up the Ampache connection.

The following Ampache client applications have been tested to be compatible with the Music app v0.17.0:

• Power Ampache (Android) (*)
• Just Player (Android)
• Amdroid (Android) (*)
• Amproid (Android) (**)
• Kodi with the Ampache plugin (multi-platform, tested on Windows 10)
• Tomahawk with the Ampache plugin (abandoned, multi-platform, tested on Windows 10)
• AMPlayer (Chrome plugin)
• SubMusic (Garmin watch) (***)

(*) Power Ampache and Amdroid have been reported to not work on Android 10

(**) Does not work on Music app versions older than 0.17.0.

(***) The app can uses both Ampache and Subsonic APIs. Ampache is recommended but it doesn't work on Music app versions older than 0.15.1.
