I am in the UK but I have a Qobuz France subscription because I started

A slightly different solution: I've been running LMS on a HP
Microserver, which also holds all my music files, for some years. I
installed Ubuntu Server as the OS on the Microserver. It works very well
indeed and I can install updates as and when I wish.

If LMS is running an a box of some kind you can access it from another
computer on the same network by opening a browser on that computer and
entering, say, 192.168.1.21:9000. Where 192.168.1.21 is the IP address
of the box on which LMS is running - replace it with the IP address of

I've used Total Recorder a lot in the past (though I seldom use it now).

Another factor to take into account is whether you want the LMS to do

As far as I can tell (looking at the downloaded manual for my old Duet),
the Duet does not natively support AAC but it will play AAC transcoded

If that is so, I suggest testing to see whether changing the AAC Stream
