Same here, love Logitech Media Server... (and also the iPeng app.) For reference: - https://lyrion.org/ - https://github.com/LMS-Community/slimserver

Anyone else here also still using LogitechMediaServer (and iPeng) to stream their own music? Such an old system (written in Perl), but still runs great! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logitech_Media_Server https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver https://hub.docker.com/r/lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver

For serving local music, the free and open source "Logitech Media Server"[0] is a great solution -- main weakness is the lack of a central organization promoting it. In addition to working smoothly with dedicated ("squeeze") clients which can be Logitech-brand or DIY[1, 2], it has a massive plugin catalog that allows e.g. - airPlay integration: stream to your squeeze-clients via airPlay, stream to your airPlay clients from squeezebox. - chromeCast integration: stream to chromeCast devices from squeezeBox. - upNp integration: stream to upNp clients. The system was originally developed by "SqueezeBox" who also made (awesome) physical devices. SqueezeBox was acquired by Logitech many years ago. Logitech put out one or two devices before giving up, but they are actually playing really nice by continuing to support development on the server (s

In the case of Squeezebox, Logitech stopped selling them a while back, but to their credit they are still actively maintaining the self hosted server: https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver which has some plugins and bridges to other services. I would say what they are doing with Squeezebox is the best case scenario for a lot of these connected devices, even though the complexity of having a self-hosted option is in no doubt part of what lead to their failure.

The Logitech Media Server (Slimserver) is still being developed [1] and coupled with Chromecast Audios (through squeeze2cast [2]) or Picoreplayer [3] works as a great multi-room system for me. Spotify integration is available through a third-party plug-in, Spotty [4]. Someone is even developing a great Material design skin for the web interface that is mobile compatible (and works great in a Hermit web app) [5]. Control apps exist for Android and iOS (iPeng [6]).

On the other hand they have continued to at least maintain the squeezebox server code even though they no longer sell any of the products. https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver

There are many great options for those with large personal digital libraries. Describe yourself: "I'll never let go of my Squeezebox and/or enjoy living in the past and/or need it to run on Windows" https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver "I'm a sysadmin with a Roku SoundBridge" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_Media_Server is another, specifically for Roku Soundbridge and iTunes streaming protocols. "I'm running FreeNAS and just want to use a plugin" Subsonic is another http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp . Can also do Shoutcast streaming. "I know what RMAF stands for and/or like messing with SBCs and/or spending $10k on audio equipment" http://www.runeaudio.com "I run Arch with a tiling wm" Lastly are the mpd family of servers and clients. These are for the hardcore nerds who love recompiling ffmpeg from source. Servers: https
