FAQ
Common questions about Karadrome, your server, and privacy.
Does Karadrome provide music?
No. Karadrome is a client only. It plays the music on your own Navidrome or Subsonic-compatible server; it does not host or provide any music itself.
What do I need to use it?
An Android 8.0+ device and a running Navidrome / Subsonic / OpenSubsonic server reachable from your device.
Is my data private?
Your server URL and credentials are stored encrypted on your device and are only ever sent to your own server. There are no analytics or advertising SDKs. See the privacy policy.
What is the difference between Free and Premium?
Free covers streaming, browsing, and a small offline allowance. Premium removes download and cache limits, adds Android Auto, multi-server switching, custom accent colors, external lyrics lookup, and octofiesta search — via a one-time purchase in the app.
What is octofiesta?
octofiesta is a separate, self-hosted Subsonic proxy that can add external sources to your search. Karadrome can talk to it if you run one; it is entirely optional and not provided by Karadrome.
