The more I use the Plex interface on iOS and tvOS, the more I like it
for music playback.
As soon as there is a audio-focused playback device (near Transporter
quality), I'll have to seriously consider ditching LMS/Squeezeboxes. My
family cares nothing about local library playback, preferring
They have gapless playback but still no FLAC+CUE support yet. Until
then, LMS rules.

They are closing in. Testing the new plexamp and works great both
gapless AND volume normalization based on EBU R128.
Looks like the finaly going to use that in server to for users with Plex
pass.
All we need now is a headless plexamp that can run on Raspberry PI.
Think I'm going for Plex pass
The new plexamp app seems interesting. They announced today that they
have a stand alone music app based on winamp that supports gapless
payback and more. It's for desktop currently.

I don't let Plex anywhere near my music, but it's great for video. At
least on Windows, the server is trivial to install and clients exist for
Roku and Samsung smart TV. Not sure what would make it easier and it's
free.

Having said all that I am also running Emby - which is much slower on
scanning music, and I've never actually used it to play music.

Plex uses DLNA to move music around. There is a plugin for LMS that is
said to convert Squeezebox hardware to DLNA renderers. I've not tried
it, but here you go:
Plex definatley has a better interface. I came here because I googled
to see if LMS had a way of becoming a plex endpoint. Great for
picoreplayer, but also great for e.g. squeezebox boom and the like. The
LMS interface was made when people had only a few hundred albums and it
just doesn't cut

Can you expand upon this? What would be required to have Squeezeboxes
show up as Plex players?

I have been a LMS user for many years and still have my squeezebox.
Eventually, I dropped the music server from plex, and went back to LMS

I love Plex as well. It is to me for video what LMS is for music. I
wish they'd work on improving the audio aspect of video playback,
however. How hard would it be to implement some sort of "pre-amp"
