Came across it while looking into Sendspin. Has anyone set it up? How is it? Use it? Better than Jellyfin?

E: Thanks everyone for the replies, it was informative!

    I have an IKEA BILRESA which is basically an iPod click wheel in a little portable Zigbee/thread device. I really wanted to have this control my music, and it will be through Music Assistant and Home Assistant that I achieve this.

    I’m still waiting on the Alexa devices integration improving, or picking up some real speakers, both of which are in the works. Then I will hook that up with a local LLM voice assistant in every room (including the bathroom; shower music!)

    Achieving this without Music Assistant would be a pain. If things all go right I won’t really use the clunky interface much anyway

      Are you planning to use Alexa speakers with their stock firmware for you LLM voice assistant?

        First I’ll use them for music assistant. If I end up making some voice satellites, I’ll have to see what the audio quality is like before ditching the Alexa speakers.

        I don’t believe anybody has found a way to use non-stock firmware. I’d love to jailbreak them if I could

          I see. I ditched my Google Home speakers by replacing them with Home Assistant Voice speakers. They’re not good for music but the mics and speaker are pretty good for voice. Pretty easy to setup fully-offline agent with a local LLM with those.
