Streaming

Soulsolid has a built-in audio player so you can listen to a track right in the browser while you browse, tag or review your music. It’s there to help you check what you’re looking at (is this the right version? is the file broken?) rather than to be a full music player.

Where you can play music#

A player appears in:

• the track overview panel in the Library,
• the tag editor, which also lets you download the file,
• the import queue, so you can listen to a track before deciding whether to import or replace it.

You can skip to any point in the track.

Supported formats#

Soulsolid plays the files as they are, with no conversion, so playback depends on what your browser supports. MP3 and FLAC are the main formats Soulsolid works with and play in all modern browsers. WAV, AAC, M4A, OGG, Opus and WMA files can be played too, if your browser supports them.

Privacy and safety#

Only files inside your library folder or your download folder can be played. Requests for any other file on the server are refused, so the player can’t be used to read files outside your music folders. Only audio files are served.

Configuration#

Streaming has no settings of its own. It plays files from:

libraryPath: /app/music       # your library
downloadPath: /app/downloads  # your downloads
