The Wonderful World of Lyrion

Yup. I jumped on it autumn 2007, first with a Transporter. In 2009 I changed my set up to DSP controlled speakers so I didn’t need its superb analog output anymore so I put in a Squeezebox Touch. For a year now I’ve used the Ultra to play from Lyrion.
Lyrion is hands down the best software for local music file storage and playback.

What sort of things could I do with it, that I can't currently do with (or is better than) MinimServer with WHA as control point?

Play CDs, play youtube audio, get music/artist biography, album/playing stream artwork (when available), play to wide range of endplayers (including Sonos, Wiims, Eversolo, android & iOS tablets)..... & server can be installed on a plethora of devices (Linux, Windows, Android) 👍😬

i just tried installing Lyrion on Windows 10 desktop to see what's what:
what a horrible experience, it couldn't discover my NAS drive (that is properly shown as a mounted drive on Windows), no matter what i did. known issue with Windows credentials it seems.
I'm not new to this, so tried changing its service credentials to my Windows username, tried the Lyrion addon for changing - all didn't work.
not gonna waste more time on this, specially wtih Navidrome working so well on my arm based NAS

If you're looking for a solution that integrates Navidrome and online services try Music Assistant; I tried it briefly with Lightweight Music Server (LMS) and it worked well, though nothing I've tried beats LMS and Symfonium for local media.

MA is basically designed for Home Assistant users if I got it right. so not for me
