## Description

Booksonic Air is a self-hosted audiobook streaming server forked from Airsonic. It lets you host your own audiobook collection and stream it to web browsers, Android devices via the companion Booksonic App, or any Subsonic-compatible client. The server handles large libraries, offers on-the-fly transcoding for formats like FLAC, WMA, APE, and others, and can limit bitrate for constrained bandwidth. It runs on Java, so it works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Unix. Installation options include a Docker image from linuxserver.io, a downloadable WAR file, and a Windows installer. Development is currently paused indefinitely, with the author recommending Audiobookshelf as an alternative.
