Subsonic API

The API version implemented is 1.16.0 and has been tested on Android using DSub, Subsonic Player, Symfonium, Tempo and Ultrasonic.

Folder navigation commands are supported. However, since LMS does not store information for each folder, it is not possible to star/unstar folders considered as artists. Given the API limitations of folder navigation commands, it is recommended to place all tracks of an album in the same folder and not to mix multiple albums in the same folder.

The Subsonic API is enabled by default.

OpenSubsonic API

OpenSubsonic is an initiative to patch and extend the legacy Subsonic API. You'll find more details in the official documentation

Authentication

LMS supports the newer API Key Authentication. Each user can generate, regenerate, or delete their API key in the settings page.

By default, API keys can also be used as passwords, and the user parameter must match the owner of the API key. This fallback authentication method can be disabled by setting api-subsonic-support-user-password-auth = false; in lms.conf.

Note: the token+salt authentication method is not supported.
