About

StreamCrate is a personal media server and player for organizing and streaming a home media collection. Its Windows application combines a desktop interface with a background server: users add local folders, browse movies, television, music and podcasts, view library artwork and metadata, and resume playback. Media stays on the Windows PC, which can stream supported files directly or transcode video when required. StreamCrate also offers a companion app for Amazon Fire TV, with device pairing and approval for connecting clients. The free version supports up to three active devices at a time and is intended for streaming within the home network. An optional StreamCrate account supports certain device-linking and pairing workflows; the server remains installed and operated on the user's own Windows computer. The product is designed for households and individuals maintaining personal media collections.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I at first liked that there was a lot of options for potentially putting together a bunch of things for the themes, the setup and plugins. Though I don't know if there's much else to say regarding that.
  • I love MusicBee. And it is free - incredible. You can use it for music, podcasts, radio. There are many tools for ripping and converting music and they are easy to use. There is excellent help online in videos and user forums.
  • It plays music, if that's one of the pros!!! But that is less than the minimum expected from a music player.

Cons

  • When it comes to setting up the folder locations, it will not accept a subfolder specifically on the desktop. Also if you have something that isn't an .mp3, .flac, .wav, or .ogg and you have a video editor which will create specific files to just make it so that way it will read it, it will straight up error in trying to read it. And upon deleting even those files, and moving my folders specifically to the music folder, it flat out wouldn't even boot.
  • The only criticism is that it takes a while to get the hang of it - but that is because it can do so much and is so configurable.
  • I have tried MusicBee many times over several years. Unfortunately, every time I installed a new version, I'd uninstall it shortly after. The user interface is absolutely the worst I have ever seen among the dozens of music players that I have used. At the very minimum, I wish there was a "Go to the containing folder" option when I right-click on a tune and want to see in which folder it is. I wish the prompt had an option to look for a tune when I try to play a tune and the player doesn't find it, instead of just telling me it was not found. I'm going to see if there is a way to delete the library. It really sucks, and the library from previous versions does not get deleted when I uninstall the player, which is another negative!
