I discovered recently that Philippe's castbridge plugin services
correctly two identical cast speakers that are setup with the google
home app to be a "speaker pair". I found this to produce perfectly
synced stereo LMS output using this plugin. The better quality your
speakers are, the better
BTW, to answer my own question above about the headset jack output.
When any given Radio is in Stereo mode (ie, playing both channels,
equally balanced, but through the one speaker), the headset output
maintains the track's full stereo separation. When the Radios are set
to Left and Right,

Buttons and knobs on radio.. If you just control from app all is good
but if you try to use controls on actual device it all becomes messy..
At least last time I tried. Don't remember exact behavior but it wasn't
acceptable.
Ordinary sync pair with one radio per channel works quite well though

BTW, how do you do the stereo set up thing for 2 radios? I've never
tried it, but would like to give it a try. And further BTW - is the
headphone jack output on any given radio
I recently tried to buy an old Sony AirPlay device ... but they
cancelled the online order because the store could not find it in their
shop/warehouse ...
so I just bought two old (2010/2011) Philips AD7000W/10 devices - WiFi,
AirPlay 1, UPnP, Aux In and Apple USB for 10GBP each plus shipping.
You can buy a good working s/h Boom on eBay for about £50. Other option
is to buy two Radio's (typically £40 each) and set them up in stereo
mode. Although my Boom screen is working well I just bought a couple of
mint O2 Jogglers (£20 each off eBay) and use their gorgeous touch
screens to control

I just swapped my Squeezebox Boom for a Google Hub Max. LMS with
Chromecast bridge works fine.
The Boom was a classic but the screen is dying a and costs a fortune to
replace. It also had a dodgy barrel plug on the back. And the Hub Max
looks better and offers more functions.
IMO LMS remains the best and most advanced streaming server in
existence.
There are a few that come close in some areas but none that succeed in
all areas. I have never tried Asset so cant comment specifically but I
very much doubt it comes close.
There are loads of alternatives that you can
The need to replace my stereo receiver has caused me to survey music
streaming options for the first time since I got my first squeezebox in
2008. My initial question of whether I should get a receiver with an
Ethernet network connection caused me to think more broadly. In
particular, while I
