TakeoutFM is a copyleft media system that indexes organized media files (S3 or local) using MusicBrainz, Last.fm, Fanart.tv, and TMDB to make media available for streaming using a mobile app, assistant app, TV app, web interface and VLC. Media is browsed using the TakeoutFM server and streamed directly from S3 using pre-signed time-based URLs.
TakeoutFM is primarily designed for music however it also supports radio, movies and podcasts. It's not intended to be a full replacement for more feature-rich systems like Plex, Jellyfin and Kodi. Instead, TakeoutFM takes inspiration from these systems and attempts to be a small yet capable system designed around media being stored in the cloud and locally. You can take your personal media collection with you, on your own terms, create your own personal streaming service, and enjoy your media with free and open source software.

- Music metadata from MusicBrainz and Last.fm
