Welcome to Kontrol's Subsonic Music Server!

Subsonic is a brand of music server, hosted on my PC.

If you're using a device with a larger screen (desktop/laptop), login below to use the Subsonic web browser interface. Note that the browser interface is NOT optimized for smaller phone screens.

For best experience use the Substreamer app on Android/Apple phones.

-Substreamer App installation instructions:
First time you open Substreamer, it will ask you for Protocol/Server address and of course your Username/Password.
-For Protocol, choose HTTPS
-For Server Address, enter kontrol.kozow.com
If all goes well, Substreamer should start "fetching data" for at most a minute (5G connection). Before hitting play, check these settings…

-Substreamer App Settings:
--- Streaming & Storage section:
-Auto Cache: Next 5 songs This is important, so that if I reboot my PC, your playback is less likely to be impacted.
-Stream Format and -Cache Format: Original I use mostly high quality, lossless flac files for superior fidelity.
---Android Permissions section (Android phones only):
-Ignore Battery Optimizations: ON

-Then choose a playlist.
The 2025kollection playlist takes about 30 seconds to load (over a 5G connection). The 2024-to-2022kollections list randomizes everything from 2024 back to 2022, and will take a minute or two to load. Don't panic while it is "fetching data", it will be worth a short wait.

If you don't want to fuss with a playlist, you can try the Shuffle play feature. Keep in mind that is a psuedo-random play, it grabs 10 to 50 titles, shuffles and plays them. My playlists are randomized, allowing a whole kollection to be listened to as intended.

Primary music source is Bandcamp; secondary is Amazon; tertiary are Further(US), Phonica(UK), Juno(UK), Bleep(UK), Townsend(UK), HHV(DE).
