Turning the big knob when off shows the forecast from now until 7 days ahead, day by day. Other use of SuperDateTime in combination with the boom is also super. The whole thing runs from a memory stick (large capacity to hold the music library, super small form factor to make it a beauty). Added SMB sharing on the os and now can add songs to the audio library from a share. This device runs squeezeplay OS 3.03 for openframe, featuring LMS 7.8, most recent version of SDT 5.11.11. So happy to combine custom clock helper and SuperDateTime on server side, with custom clock applet on client side, turning an 02 joggler into a stand alone music source of positive vibes. Thanks to people like ralphy, boomx2 (just to name 2) and the vast possibilities I’m one of those people keeping things alive. I started to discover the Squeezebox lineup with the Squeezebox boom and am a proud owner of a few.

You can find Logitech Media Server from its download page, and give this device a try. It has two options for playback that both require a little bit of extra hardware, an I2S DAC for uncompressed streams or a VS1053 codec module for compressed ones, but neither of those need be expensive. The software can be found on GitHub, and comes with the warning that it’s an early proof-of-concept rather than a polished release. Now you can create a network player on about as cheap hardware as it is possible to find, because has produced a client for the ESP32 and ESP8266. One of the players in this market was Logitech with their Squeezebox line of products, and while the original hardware may have been discontinued it remains very much alive among its dedicated userbase due to the free nature of the Logitech Media Server software and implementations of the slimproto streaming protocol in players. Streaming music may now come from somewhere in the cloud to an app on your phone and be sent to the client built in to almost every entertainment device you own, but there was a time when the bleeding edge lay in dedicated streaming device that connected to your existing set-up.
