Batteries-included
Apart from standard audio streaming functionalities, Koel includes out-of-the-box a plethora of additional features, including transparent lossless support, cross-device playback synchronization, favorites, smart playlists, multi-user support, equalizer settings, visualizers, radio and podcast support, and so on.
Modern and familiar design
Unlike some of our music, we’re not living in the 90s anymore. Koel’s design is clean, modern, and simply gorgeous. With an interface inspired by the most popular music players out there, you’ll feel right at home. And if you’re in the mood for some change, your next favorite theme is just one click away.
Built for speed
Koel is fast. Like, blazingly fast. Embracing the latest web technologies, everything is optimized to respond and deliver in a split second — no matter how large your music collection is.
Robust media management
Upload, delete, and edit metadata like title, artist, album, track, disc, and so on with an uncluttered and intuitive interface. Compilation albums and artwork? No problem. Playlist folders and cover images? Sure. Genre categorization? Right there. With Koel, your music library is exactly what it should be: yours.
Streamlined integrations
Enjoy seamless integrations with popular services like MusicBrainz, Wikipedia, Last.fm, Spotify, and YouTube. Your music library is automatically enriched with metadata, album arts, videos, and more, providing an even more complete and engaging experience.
