Key Features

browsing by folder (keeping your full tree intact) see here
browsing by tags (using taglib - supports mp3, opus, flac, ape, m4a, wav, etc.)
on-the-fly audio transcoding and caching (requires ffmpeg) (thank you spijet)
subsonic jukebox mode, for gapless server-side audio playback instead of streaming (thank you lxea)
support for podcasts (thank you lxea)
pretty fast scanning (with my library of ~50k tracks, initial scan takes about 10m, and about 6s after incrementally)
multiple users, each with their own transcoding preferences, playlists, top tracks, top artists, etc.
last.fm scrobbling
listenbrainz scrobbling (thank you spezifisch, lxea)
