I’m looking to replace the 2GB Pi4 I’m running HAOS on. Would I be better off getting a Pi5 kit or a Pi4 board with more RAM? I had a play with MusicAssistant and it looks really nice, but my Pi needs more RAM to run it well (and it keeps stopping - suggesting RAM is a problem). Is the Pi5 worth the extra money? #HomeAssistant #MusicAssistant

#CambridgeAudio don't provide either a #Plexamp or #Lyrion endpoint in their streamers. From looking at the community forum there is a workaround with #MusicAssistant. It works reasonably well but for some reason have only managed to get the AirPlay route which is weird.
Not a big fan of the interface though
Sendspin: Music Experience Protocol: https://www.sendspin-audio.com/. Listen, control, and see your music in every room with Sendspin, an open standard for the complete music listening experience. There's a demo on the page, and the spec (https://www.sendspin-audio.com/spec) is surprisingly readable. I was especially interested in how the syncing works.

Leute, wer #homeassistant hat und gerne Musik/Podcasts hört muss sich unbedingt #musicassistant anschauen! Damit kann man so ziemlich alles machen. Mein aktuelle Setup: Music Assistant läuft als Addon von HA auf einem Raspberry 4. Im Wohnzimmer dann einen Rasp 3 mit #picoreplayer bestückt über HDMI an meinem betagten Onkyo Receiver. Musik via Tidal (als Musikquelle in MA) in FLAC High Fidelity an meine Dali Oberon 5 gestreamt. Ein Raps 1 in der Garage an einem noch viel älteren Yamaha AVR 1/2

Music Assistant ist genau dein Ding und du bist ein Androidler? Dann schau dir mal MassDroid an, eine App mit der du Music Assistant vermutlich noch ein klein wenig besser steuern kannst:

Ich habe seit heute morgen Probleme Web Radio zu hören. Der Radio Browser im Music Assistant scheint nicht zu laufen. Kann das jemand bestätigen?

Doing some tinkering, and it's my first time using breadboards for prototyping. This is neat!

Currently putting together a local-only "smart" speaker pair setup with an ESP32, DAC, and amplifier (not pictured, it hasn't arrived yet) to go along with a pair of bookshelf speakers. My goal is to replace my Sonos/Symfonisk speakers in my living room with this setup, using Music Assistant to stream to it.
