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.

Music Assistant allows you to quickly connect some of the most popular streaming providers like Spotify and Tidal, with your local media files. Importing your liked tracks, artists, albums, and playlists, all displayed with the correct artwork.

It supports the most ubiquitous streaming protocols and devices like Airplay, Cast and DLNA, letting you play media on almost any device - if an old speaker doesn’t support new services, Music Assistant can bring it back to life.
