These rips, even in FLAC, never contain logs or cues. If you’re downloading FLAC for archival purposes, these files are essential. Private trackers and SS are the only way I download music. Scene rips are a waste of my time

Sonos users, come on over to Lyrion. The water’s open source, self hosted, and fine 😎

Hope you enjoy the descent into the LMS rabbit hole! Come see us over at the forums if you need any help ;)

LMS would fit the bill perfectly. LMS, or Lyrion Music Server, formerly known as Logitech Media Server, is open source software that’s been given to the community by Logitech themselves. It used to be used to stream music from your computer to Squeezebox devices, but now you can stream it to nearly any computer, including…

Raspberry pis! By using piCorePlayer, you can turn your pi into a server for LMS, a player, or both at the same time!

I’ve been using LMS for years and can’t praise it enough. I’ve got whole house audio. My server runs on a Pi 4 and streams music from my NAS, but you can even stream it from a connected drive, Spotify, Deezer, or Qobuz!

Also, don’t fret about LMS’s…dated…UI. There’s robust themes out there, including the legendary Material Skin https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-material

Since you can use a Pi, you can connect any amp and speakers to it. Hifiberry makes great DACs that you could use for a cleaner sound, but any modern USB DAC would do well IMO.

You can still get Squeezeboxes cheaply on eBay, BTW. The Squeezebox Boom and Radio both are all-in-one WiFi enabled devices that can connect to your LMS server and stream music. Their sound quality is excellent, even for 10+ year old hardware.

Deemix has a container that has a WEB UI

This is exciting! Can’t wait to kill my install by trying to upgrade!

For any of the scene kids who grew up with Attack Attack! (Aka, the crabcore kings), Bilmuri is Johnny Franck, one of their members ;)

I’m using a Raspberry pi, my desktop computer, my phone, some Logitech Squeezebox devices, and Google Home Minis all through my house

Logitech media server, every day of the week. Despite its name, it is open source and in the hands of the community. Then, with cdrummond’s Material Skin and LMS Android Wrapper, it’s next level good. I can’t ever imagine going back

Edit: if hosting the server on a RPI, check out piCorePlayer. It can host your server and also serve as a player simultaneously
