FStream: a decentralized and social music streamer

Abstract

Internet streaming services and social networks have drastically changed how people discover and consume music. Existing streaming services allow users to listen to music available on a centrally controlled web infrastructure. However, recent trends, e.g. large, inexpensive home storage devices and always on, high-speed broadband connectivity, provide the opportunity for users to collaboratively share their music collections directly, without the intervention of a service provider. In this paper we present FStream, a distributed, social music streaming service. Users contribute to the system by hosting at home a FStream-Box which enables them to have access to their music collection everywhere and at any time. In addition, they can share their collection with friends, discover new tracks thanks to a recommendation system and search for specific tracks in the whole network without using a central entity. FStream provides a fine grained sharing policy allowing the user to have full control over the way she shares her music and manage resource allocation to address traffic spikes and content availability.
