    Probably a good time to give a shout out to Mopidy: https://mopidy.com/ Though as for myself, I'm still running Squeezebox - nothing like being able to SSH into your smart speaker and mess around with the Perl system that's running it.

    More importantly you have the possibility to get lossless music files.
