Soniclair

An album-centered subsonic client for Xbox

SonicLair is a minimal, mobile-ready, album-centered music client for subsonic compatible music servers built using UWP and designed to run on Xbox.

Features

• Connect to any subsonic-compatible music server. Tested on Navidrome.
• Album-centered music playing: if you start playing a song, the album becomes your playlist.
• Start a radio based on any song on your library.
• Search throughout your entire music library.
• Connect your Xbox to your server using SonicLair on your phone running Android and a QR Code. (All the communications are made within the LAN, no third-party servers involved)
• Jukebox Mode! Run an instance of Soniclair in an Xbox and control it from another instance running on Android.
