This tool enables you to connect to different kinds of online streaming music like Pandora, Sirius, Last.fm, Spotify, Napster as well as the local songs from the network drives or local computer running the Logitech Media Server. It is a versatile network music player from Logitech.

Luckily, All of these servers can run at once, so I can select the server (on Mosaic) that offers me the best version of my current need.For music geeks, Squeezebox is not a new thing. However, MinimServer has a 65000 folder and 100000 file limit, which I am past! It also lets you view folders by date, genre, track.

It did succeed in searching for Vainberg as an Artist. MinumServer does not offer a view of recently-added items, neither tracks nor albums. Scrolling through the artist list is also quick, although you must stop the scrollbar to see where you are. However, MiniDLNA DLNA/UPnP server does correctly locate the search for Vainberg as an artist. Ia seen above, it has a "Recently Added" listing, but this is a list of tracks, not albums. It has several front ends that you can download and use on the Linux server. It only lists the Artists and Playlists, and supports NO search function at all-the search icon is greyed out. It also lets you do obscure searches in the Web GUI, and returns them quickly. I have been using Subsonic for years as a server to let me access my music collection remotely (yes, even from Borneo!). Scrolling through the list of Artists is quite slow also.īut KODI is the ONLY DLNA/UPnP server that displays Recent Albums. However, doing the search using Mosaic on my phone never got past the busy search icon.

Notice that when I tried to do the search using the Linux desktop, Kodi informed me that I had to install a plugin, which I did. (I had to right-click the Kodi label to exit search mode!) Kodi has a very complete, but often obscure Linux GUI. It is a complete music/video system with a large ecosystem of plugins, some of which are responsible for updating my collection when new additions occur. There is a whole folder of albums with that title. The Artist is tagged as "Vainberg, Moishei" and that search turns up nothing at all. Notice that the search missed Vainberg as an Artist. If you click on the Music menu item, Mezzmo does list "Recently Added", but it is by track, not by album. I really prefer servers to run on Linux since reboots are few and far between, and my Linux server is up all the time.

#LOGITECH MEDIA SERVER OR KODI WINDOWS 10#

Mezzmo does not run on Linux, so I installed it on my Windows 10 machine.

It should list new albums, not tracks.It should automatically scan for new additions to my music collection, either quasi-instantly, or, say, every hour.It needs a decent user interface on the server so I can modify its settings.What are the qualities I require from a DLNA/UPnP server? I have tried the following servers on my OpenSUSE LEAP 15.2 computer (except as indicated):

For instance, DCS says " Why is MinimServer the only UPnP server software that is fully supported by dCS?" Well, despite this unwarranted FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) there are many reasons to NOT use the minumServer. The issue is that it is the DLNA/UPnP server that determines how the content is arranged. Mosaic searches for DLNA/UPnP servers on my network and presents the content to be selected and played.

#LOGITECH MEDIA SERVER OR KODI ANDROID#

In the case of the DCS Bartók, this is an Android or IOS app called Mosaic. Such a server presents a list of available music and art to the player's control software. But to play my computerized music collection, I needed a DLNA/UPnP server. When my Cruise was canceled (due to Covid), I bought myself a DCS Bartók DAC ($13,500!) to replace the Transporters. I highly recommend Qobuz, which offers audio streams up to 24-bit/192 kHz resolution.

However, time marches on, and now high-resolution audio is available on the internet via services such as Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify, etc. For many years now, I have been ripping my CDs to my computer and playing them using my Logitech Squeezebox Server (on my Linux computer) and listening to them via my Logitech Transporter players.
