PMDA (pronounced "pimda") is one music lover's take on building the music library of his dreams — and now yours. Point the app at your own self-hosted PMDA server and enjoy your entire collection, beautifully organized, anywhere you go. WHY PMDA Most music apps lock you into a subscription and their catalog, or leave your carefully-built library a mess of mismatched tags and missing covers. PMDA is different: 100% self-hosted, private, and it actually understands your music. WHAT YOU GET • Your whole library, everywhere — browse artists, albums, genres and labels, with rich, clickable artist pages. • Real listening — gapless playback, history, cross-user recommendations, synced lyrics and waveforms. • Lossless, your way — stream bit-perfect FLAC or save data with smart transcoding; download albums for offline, even on a plane. • Clean and yours — your files, your server, your rules. No cloud lock-in, no ads, no tracking, no AI. HOW IT WORKS PMDA mobile is a companion to the PMDA server (a free, self-hosted music library app you run on your own machine or NAS). Enter your server's address, sign in, and your library is in your pocket. Nothing is stored on our servers — the app talks only to the server you point it at. Built for people who are in love with music. Welcome.
