airsonic-advanced VS slimserver

Airsonic version: 11.0.0-SNAPSHOT.20230217142243 – February 17, 2023 at 2:22:43 PM GMT [Commit: 1397446f979b1cdea283eec89ce4f0eae7d63450]

I use Airsonic-Advanced and I think it might suit your needs. All my stuff is FLAC 16/44 and I have one sampler album that is 24/96 and it plays just fine.

Regarding the likes of Navidrome (I am a recent user, particularly for music on the go) it's a real pity that it's still reliant on Subsonic - why not move to AirSonic Advanced? With many "personal Spotify" apps the assumption seems to be that playing music on desktop or mobile is what most users want. Is there a way to easily stream lossless to an external DAC via the likes of a RPi? Is it as simple as adding a DLNA client to the mix?

I'm running the latest build of Airsonic-Advanced ( 11.0.0-SNAPSHOT.20220625052932 – June 25, 2022 at 1:29:32 AM EDT [Commit: 89e6fe9aec80daf8224c6696f8f86bfcf22c6e0a] ) and I'm having a problem with my database getting corrupted on a regular basis (every 1-2 weeks). I then have to delete it, reboot and let it rebuild, and then it gets corrupted again.

My recommendation would be to not use Plex for Podcasts. You could use Airsonic-Advanced for automatic Podcast episode grabbing and then either play them through that or use AudiobookShelf.

Highly recommend plex/plexamp and Airsonic-advanced

I presume from the version you are using Airsonic Advanced? You're better of posting on their Github https://github.com/airsonic-advanced/airsonic-advanced/issues

Logitec Media Server - Music server. Yes, I'm old enough to have a still-working original squeezebox, as well as multiple squeezebox radios. They're awesome.

I ripped all my audio CDs, back when I still bought CDs, to flac format and serve them up via: https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver or mpd or both.

Logitech Media Server or Owntone would be my recommendations.

Jellyfin is not ideal for this on its own. If you want some that could scale but also play locally check out Logitech Media Server. A lot of other audio projects are built on its code, much less play super nice with it if you want to expand in the future. Notable features is tons of plugins to integrate webradio, podcasts, etc and the easiest whole house audio setup out there.

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 (see [0]).
