Wavy

Wavy is an open-source audio streaming and sharing platform for local networks. It supports both lossless and lossy formats, ensuring high-quality playback without requiring an internet connection. Ideal for local listening parties, private streaming, and efficient, high-fidelity audio distribution.

Key features of this app includes:

• Support for both lossless and lossy audio formats.

• LAN-based streaming, ensuring privacy and low latency.

• Transport stream compression using zstd, reducing transfer size by ~30% without losing audio quality or overhead.

• Client-server architecture powered by HLS and adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR), ensuring stable playback even in poor network conditions.

• Compatible with media players that support network streams (such as VLC), though without additional compression benefits.

Future plans:

• Authentication for secure, private music sessions.

• Audio file transfer with metadata preservation.
