Anyone else here also still using LogitechMediaServer (and iPeng) to stream their own music?

Such an old system (written in Perl), but still runs great!

I threw that old thing (logitech squeezebox) in the recycling.

With how warm it was in standby I bet it cost more money in power bills than itself don'tcha know.

This is the kind of hardware I love. Stable over time, no dependencies. I moved all my music to squeezebox system in 2004 and everything works wonderfully today.

I was amazed to discover, a few months ago, that iPeng is still under active development!

I went to set the alarm on my Squeezebox Boom one night and the time picker widget was completely broken. By the next week they'd pushed out an update to fix it.

That kind of dedication in a developer is fantastic to see.

Logitech Media Server is very common in the Home Assistant world. I'm in the process of setting a server up now actually, and I've never used it before.
