Moosic streams from Navidrome, Gonic, Airsonic (anything speaking the Subsonic API) and syncs the parts you choose to real hardware: click-wheel iPods, USB DAPs, SD cards. Mark, plug in, sync. Tracks arrive transcoded to whatever the device actually plays.
Mark tracks, albums, or playlists for a device in the Devices tab. Plug the player in, hit sync, done. Already-synced files are skipped; removed marks are cleaned up. Device groups push one marked set to several players at once.
Stock Apple firmware ignores loose files, so Moosic writes the iPod's database itself: Mini, Video, Classic, Nano. Lossless goes as ALAC. The last click-wheel generations need an extra checksum library, set once in config.
Each device declares what it decodes. FLAC → ALAC on an iPod, FLAC → MP3 on an MP3-only player. Optionally force a codec and bitrate cap; 256 kbps AAC fits a lot more music on a 16 GB card.
Anything that mounts as USB storage works: tracks go to Music/Artist/Album/, playlists as m3u8. Quirky devices get a profile (folder layout, codec list, playlist format) and you can define your own in config.toml.
Episodes sync next to your music. Click-wheel iPods get the native Podcasts menu with resume positions, and what you listened to on the road syncs back when you plug in.
The sync source is your Subsonic library, one server or several merged into one. No cloud in the middle, no account, no telemetry. Your files move from your server to your player.
Yes. Moosic connects to your Navidrome (or any Subsonic-compatible) server, downloads the tracks you marked, and writes the iPod's iTunesDB database directly. Stock Apple firmware reads it like iTunes wrote it. No iTunes, no Finder sync, no vendor app.
Click-wheel iPods on stock firmware: Mini, Video, Classic, and Nano. The newest click-wheel generations need an extra checksum library, set once in config. Any iPod flashed with Rockbox syncs as a plain folder DAP. iPod Touch and iPhone are iOS devices and not supported.
Yes, automatically. Each device declares what it can decode: FLAC onto an iPod becomes ALAC (still lossless); onto an MP3-only player it becomes MP3. You can also force a codec and bitrate cap to fit more music on a small card.
Yes. Episodes land in the iPod's native Podcasts menu with resume positions, and what you listen to on the iPod syncs back to Moosic when you plug it in. On plain USB DAPs episodes copy as files next to your music.
Any player that mounts as USB storage: FiiO, HiBy, Surfans, Snowsky, and the rest. Tracks go to Music/Artist/Album folders, playlists are written as m3u8. Devices with quirks get a profile, and you can define your own profile in config.toml.
