Personal streaming music server

Idea I would like to have a private Spotify / Google Music / Apple music like setup. For free. As I already have bought the music once in the past. Music files would be stored at home, but accessible anywhere. This way I could listen to all my favourite songs on the go. And do this with low end smartphones which have limited storage capacity but flat fee 3G/4G network access. Server Hardware Raspberry PI to start with. Software Tonido Both the server and the mobile application keep on crashing Depends on Tondo servers to be available. I can only hope their freemium business model is sustainable forever. Madsonic Implemented in Java Needs to be configured for low ram from defaults #MADSONIC_INIT_MEMORY=192 #MADSONIC_MAX_MEMORY=384 MADSONIC_INIT_MEMORY=32 MADSONIC_MAX_MEMORY=128 You need patience to start it up on a Raspi model B  Auto start for now /etc/rc.local: su -c /var/madsonic/standalone/madsonic.sh pi Mobile application TBD app
