I'm the developer behind mStream. I've tried a bunch of self-hosted software out and I created mStream Express to solve a few common problems. The first is that most self-hosted software has dependencies. You can't just download and run it. mStream Express comes with all dependencies bundled in the exe so you can get run it without installing anything else.
Additionally mStream Express comes with a GUI management tool. You can do all your configuration without having to touch the command line or a text editor. This makes the bar to entry much lower than most.
And finally, mStream runs on windows. A lot of solutions I tried just didn't work on Windows. I made Windows support a priority since it's not uncommon for users to have their music collections on a windows PC.
