KION Music

Music Assistant has support for KION Music (MTS Music). Contributed and maintained by TrudenBoy.

KION Music is a music streaming service by MTS (Mobile TeleSystems), one of the largest telecom operators in Russia and CIS countries. This source uses the yandex-music-api library adapted for the KION API endpoint.

CAUTION

This is an unofficial implementation and is not affiliated with or endorsed by MTS or KION.

WARNING

A KION Music subscription is required for full functionality of the source and lossless (FLAC) quality. Without a subscription, the source’s full-fledged operation is not guaranteed.
