Soundiiz supports all Subsonic-compatible servers by using the official Subsonic API (v1.16.1). This means you can connect a wide range of self-hosted music servers and manage your playlists, favorites, and library across platforms.
Supported servers
By selecting “Subsonic” in Soundiiz, you can connect any server compatible with the Subsonic API, including (but not limited to):
- Navidrome
- Airsonic / Airsonic-Advanced
- Synology
- Funkwhayle
- Gonic
- Subsonic (original server)
- Other Subsonic-compatible implementations
As long as your server supports Subsonic API v1.16.1, it should work with Soundiiz.
How the connection works
To connect your server, you only need:
-
Server URL (format:
http://your-server:port) - Username
- Password
Soundiiz uses these credentials to communicate directly with your server via the Subsonic API.
Why are “Subsonic” and “Navidrome” separate in Soundiiz
Although Navidrome is fully Subsonic-compatible, Soundiiz provides a dedicated “Navidrome” connector for:
- Better clarity (most users today run Navidrome)
- Improved user experience
- SEO and discoverability
You can still use the “Subsonic” connector to connect Navidrome if you prefer.
Connect multiple servers
By separating Subsonic and Navidrome in the interface, Soundiiz allows you to:
- Connect multiple Subsonic-compatible servers at the same time
- For example:
- one via “Subsonic”
- another via “Navidrome”
This makes it easy to:
- Transfer playlists between servers
- Migrate your library
- Sync favorites across instances
Cloudflare, firewall, or proxy protection
If your server is behind Cloudflare, a reverse proxy, or a firewall, make sure Soundiiz is allowed to access the Subsonic API.
For example, if Cloudflare returns a `403 Forbidden` page with messages such as `Attention Required!` or `Sorry, you have been blocked`, the request is blocked before it reaches your Subsonic/Navidrome server. This is not a Soundiiz authentication error.
Please allow external API requests to your Subsonic endpoint, usually:
`/rest/*`
You may need to disable Cloudflare challenges, bot protection, or WAF rules for this path, or whitelist Soundiiz server requests.
Soundiiz can only connect if your server returns a valid Subsonic API response rather than a Cloudflare or firewall-blocking page.
Summary
- Use Subsonic to connect to any compatible server
- Use Navidrome for a dedicated, streamlined experience
- Both connectors rely on the same Subsonic API (v1.16.1)
If your server supports this API, it should work seamlessly with Soundiiz.
