README excerpt
# koel ## Intro **Koel** (also stylized as **koel**, with a lowercase k) is a free, open-source music streaming solution that turns your personal collection into a sleek, web-based listening experience. Built on Laravel and Vue, it scans your music library and serves it back through a fast, modern interface that works in any browser. Beyond playback, Koel handles playlists, smart playlists, scrobbling, podcasts, radio, Last.fm/Spotify/MusicBrainz integrations, and an AI assistant that responds to natural-language commands. The premium Koel Plus adds multi-user libraries, collaboration, SSO, cloud storage drivers, custom themes, and white-labeling for organizations that want to host their own Spotify-style experience without paying anyone else. ## Install and Upgrade Guide For system requirements, installation/upgrade guides, troubleshooting etc., head over to the Official Documentation. ## Development See the Development Guide. ## Koel Player Koel Player is the official mobile app for Koel, which supports both iOS and Android without the limitations of the mobile web version.
