So I love plex, but something that really bugs me is its lack of gapless playback, which ruins albums in some cases.
I was wondering if there's any good self hosted music streaming services that support gapless.
depending on your hardware and ability to use software - you could use spark to stream it.
The job would have to be written in scala.

Isn't that something that the player does?
No, the phone app, and web app do not do that.
@anon5205053 my hardware is top notch, I'll check it out.
none of those mention gapless, and I need to be able to use it from a webui (using from work pc I can't install software on)
Look at gstreamer. You're probably a windows user but if linux gstreamer will do the job.
Windows in the streets, Linux in the sheets.
but thanks I'll look into it!

gs is cool because its relatively fast and allows you to basically self host out of the command line.
I'm not sure what you mean by Gapless, but i have an app installed on my owncloud server that streams music through my web browser.
gapless means, track n-1 plays continously to track n.
since lots of album songs tend to fade/transition into the next one. Plex will finish the song, then spend 1 second loading the next song which creates a break. if a song transistions to another, it breaks this transition.
