Airsonic VS Volumio

Hi there, I'm trying to install Airsonic and I stumbled upon this topic here: https://github.com/airsonic/airsonic/issues/1128

https://github.com/airsonic/airsonic is a Java-based web interface, which would require some form of hosting to setup.

Currently, I have Booksonic installed via docker using LinuxServer. Current version " Version2201.1.0 – January 13, 2022, based on Airsonic 8b28366"

Sonos integration was never properly merged into vanilla Airsonic. The existing implementation in vanilla Airsonic is broken. Development seems to have ceased on vanilla Airsonic anyway so no hopes to get integration working. Here is the (still open!) PR for Sonos on vanilla Airsonic that was never merged: https://github.com/airsonic/airsonic/pull/1738

Yeah, I made a PR with a fix for this over a month ago and it has been ignored: https://github.com/airsonic/airsonic/pull/1879

https://airsonic.github.io/ it's a media streaming service like Plex for music.

Possibly volumio OS - found at volumio.org

You can find some ways to kind of hack something together. It's not as convenient as a ready-made consumer product, but you can get a Raspberry Pi and install something like Volumio on it. (I haven't personally used Volumio, so that's just an example more than a recommendation, although it's probably good.)

Haven't tried it myself but Volumio looks like a nice option.

For anyone else who wants to do this, just set up the absolutely amazing Volumio on your RPi or any other computer.

https://volumio.org/

The web app is great for use in your house, the Spotify plugin is first class - it's supported as a target in your Spotify app, or you can browse straight from the webapp, which means even a guest on your wifi can easily pop on and help pick the music.

If you're using Spotify, a Raspberry Pi 4 running Volumio (https://volumio.org/) is a sub-$100 setup (the Pi is cheap but you'll want a case and whanot) that works great. Volumio will turn it to a Spotify Connect endpoint that you can control via your phone/computer through the normal Spotify app. Use the Pi's USB out directly into the Bifrost (don't need to bother with any of the hats) and you're all set!

What I ended up doing is running Volumio on a raspberry pi hooked up to an AudioQuest Dragonfly USB DAC, which in turn outputs to one of the analogue inputs on my main amp. It's not as slick as a native Plex client, but it works well enough and (thanks to that DAC) sounds really good.

Buy a music streamer. Like iFi Audio Zen Stream, Bluesound. Or Raspberry PI running Volumio (https://volumio.org/). Or maybe a VM running Volumio, pass the USB to it?

If you just want to play music, look into Kodi-based distros like LibreElec or OSMC, or audio-only distros like Volumio. Failing that, antiX or Q4OS Trinity.

Also Before I used Plex I use to have a pi plugged into my home theatre system running volumio https://volumio.org
