Lyrion Music Server (LMS, formerly Logitech Media Server/SlimServer) is an open-source streaming audio server written in Perl that powers Squeezebox hardware and software emulators like Squeezelite. It streams local music libraries, internet radio, and online music services to multiple synchronized players, with an extensible plugin system and web-based control interface.
Use cases
- stream my local music collection to Squeezebox players
- run a multi-room audio server on a Raspberry Pi
- serve music to Squeezelite software players
- listen to internet radio and streaming services through LMS
- self-host a music server on my NAS with Docker
- synchronize audio playback across multiple players in my house
- replace the defunct MySqueezebox.com service
When to choose
- you own Squeezebox hardware or use Squeezelite/SqueezePlay software players
- you want a mature, plugin-extensible, self-hosted multi-room music server
- you need to stream both local files and online services to many players
- you want to run the server on almost anything from a Pi to a NAS
When to avoid
- you use AirPlay, Chromecast, or Sonos ecosystems without Squeezebox-compatible players
- you want a modern UI-first music server like Plexamp or Jellyfin
- you need a lightweight single-player music player rather than a server
- you are uncomfortable with Perl-based software and community support channels
