MusicMount.org provides an API and tools to access your music from your mobile devices. The MusicMount tool is used to build a static MusicMount site, ready to be deployed to a web server.

The MusicMount tool scans your music folder for MP3 and M4A (Apple) audio files, extracts metadata like track names, album titles, artists, genres, cover art, etc. It then computes an album-centric model and generates a static MusicMount site (also known as mount) consisting of JSON and image files.

A MusicMount site can be hosted on a NAS, Raspberry Pi or even on a wireless drive. Once your site is built and deployed, you can access your site from your mobile device.

There's also a "live" command to quickly launch a server without generating a static site. This is the easiest way to get things going, to temporarily mount music from iTunes, stored on a thumb drive, etc.

The MusicMount client app for iOS is available on the App Store.
