I did choose to not use other standards as the main features of Meelo (multiple album/song versions, getting B-Sides, etc.) are not supported by them. The server's API follows its own design.


Maybe an exposed compatibility API for supporting third party players


It makes sense, since Meelo's main strength is the rich metadata model. You'd have to butcher it into a lowest-common-denominator format, which in many of these subtle cases would be missing the entire point.

I think people who would rather use streaming apps should just stick to Jellyfin or Navidrome.

I still prefer to listen to music through a native/dedicated app on desktop (and definitely on mobile). As much as I don't like Electron, Cider went with it and it's not that bad.
