You might want to try Daphile. It can be a dedicated LMS server, or with it's 'Local UI' player option turned on can also act as a Squeezebox (aka endpoint). I like it because it's a complete package so I don't have to dink around with all the separate components - load OS, etc...
With this setting turned on, and since any player can connect to any LMS server on your network, you can start out using it just as a player and then migrate your files, settings, etc. until you're comfortable using it as your primary LMS server if you decide to switch. I've been bringing fellow music lovers into the SqueezeBox fold after their issues with Sonos, etc. using old PC's and this distro and some players off of eBay for over 1+ year now - and they LOVE THEIR SqueezeBoxes! What is your configuration - how many hardware players do you have & what types (SB3, Boom, Transporter, Radio)? Any software players? *Player: *1 x Transporter w/Trans-knob, 2 x Touch (Active, 3 x Spares), 4 x Boom (Active, 9 x Spares) *Server: *1 x Win Server (ESXi 6.x) w/LMS, 1 x HP 24" Touch Screen PC w/LMS & SqueezePlay *Control: *4 x w/iPeng, 1 x Samsung Note 4, 3ea x Fire 7", 8 tablets, 1 x 10" all w/SqueezeCtrl & Player (Angry Goat) *Audio: *Mark Levinson 23.5 Amp, 380s Pre, 390s CD, B&W 801 II, Acoustic Energy AE-2 signature, SOTA Sapphire table Computer geek/tech hoarder(!), and DAMN I love the LMS/Squeeze infrastructure! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ markm9999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65015 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109816
