Music Assistant 2.7 - Taking over the airwaves
It’s been a busy few months composing behind the scenes, building up to a massive crescendo. Today, the beat finally drops on Music Assistant’s biggest update yet. With version 2.7, Music Assistant is getting all jazzed up with a visual overhaul, a chart-topping lineup of new features and providers, along with a brand-new streaming protocol we’re spinning up ourselves.
Music Assistant's next big hit
Over the past several months, Music Assistant has been hitting all the right notes with new features, greater stability, and a crescendo of contributors who keep pushing the project forward. If you’re unfamiliar with Music Assistant, it allows you to merge your libraries from leading audio streaming providers and local files, letting you play them on the most popular smart speakers. Since our last update, Music Assistant has had a couple of big releases, but our most recent might just be our platinum record 💿, with a lot of new functionality coming in version 2.4.
Music Assistant 2.0: Your Music, Your Players
Today, exactly five years ago, I, Marcel, started working on Music Assistant. What began as a quick script, to sync my playlists so I could switch between streaming providers, grew into a beast on its own.
Music Assistant is what I’d like to call a “music library manager” – it gives you full control of playing YOUR music on your players. Just like Home Assistant centralizes all your devices and services to work together, Music Assistant does the same with your music sources and smart audio-playing devices.
