Welcome aboard! I see that you already discovered Material Skin. I also
recommend Squeezer as a free, powerful and easy to use Android client
app. Enjoy the LMS experience!

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] I'm a LMS convert...

2022-09-29 Thread artatgray


After a half a decade of auditioning a number of media server packages,
Logitech Media Server has made me into a convert.

In the past, I've auditioned Roon (over priced for what it offers),
JRiver (the remote control apps are lacking, and the CEO's attitude
towards customers is confrontational, but its DSP-Over-DLNA facility is
very good), BubbleUPnP Server (adequate but without DSP), Plex (I just
didn't like the GUI/UX), MusicBee (I still use it as a local player, but
it's UPnP-DLNA server plug-in is buggy), and Emby (a beautiful and
pleasant GUI/UX, but no DSP).

I settled on Emby with a couple of other applications (AutoEQ, Macast
and Desktop Audio Streamer) in order to apply DSP to Google Cast and
DLNA streams. It worked fine, and the UX was pleasant, but having to run
three other applications along side it just didn't set well with me; as
a software engineer and data scientist, efficiency and optimization are
big deals to me.

Although I'd seen mentions of LMS I just never got around to auditioning
it. I think the current open source nature of the project put me off as
I've not had good experiences with such in the past. Well, I can now say
that I shouldn't have let that put me off.

I've been auditioning LMS over the past two weeks and have found it to
be an impressive piece of software. I guess I really shouldn't be
surprised, though, given its commercial origins.

Well done to all the developers involved. You've made me another
satisfied convert...
