Music Assistant — Your music. Your way.

Bring the music you love – from your personal collection or streaming services – into one library, to enjoy on speakers you already own.
Music of every kind, from Indie, Jazz, Electronic, Classical, Hip-hop, Podcasts, Folk, Ambient, Rock, Radio, Soul, Audiobooks.
Keep your library and playlists independent of any one music service. Mix speaker brands, switch services and change your setup without starting over.
Streaming services, local files, radio, podcasts and audiobooks, in one place.
Runs on a device in your home. Browse your music, build a queue and control every speaker from one app.
Speakers from different brands and ecosystems, in one room or in sync throughout your home.
Your library and queues run on a device in your home. Music Assistant never collects or shares what you play. Online music services still handle their own streams.
Browse music from your connected sources in one place. Matching releases are linked, and a playlist can include tracks from several services alongside your own files. Each service still needs its own account and subscription where required.
Music Assistant is free and open source, backed by the Open Home Foundation. It runs in your home and never collects or shares what you play. Connected music services still handle their own streams under their own privacy terms.
Your playback queue lives on the Music Assistant server, so closing the app or browser doesn’t stop the music. Transfer the queue to another speaker without losing your place, and control playback from your phone or a browser.
Group compatible speakers to play the same music around your home. Music Assistant can also bring AirPlay speakers into a Sendspin group. Synchronization depends on the speakers and group type; not every combination can play in sync.
Music Assistant matches the audio to what each speaker supports. Keep albums gapless, blend tracks with Smart Fades, even out volume between songs and adjust the sound for your speakers and room.
Ask Home Assistant Assist for a song and a room, start music from an automation, or play a doorbell announcement through your speakers. Music Assistant can pause or lower the music for the message, then bring it back. The integration works with both Docker and Home Assistant installations.
Copy playlists between supported services and keep supported playlists in sync as you edit them. You can change services without rebuilding every playlist, though the songs available depend on the destination service’s catalogue.
One place to find what to play next, whichever service it comes from.
Browse new releases and rediscover favorites without jumping between apps.
Build playlists that follow your own rules.
Find songs that sound like a favorite.
Add plugins for parties, games and new ways to listen.
Music Assistant is built by a large community of maintainers and contributors, including the core team pictured here.
There’s room for you too. Help someone get their music playing, improve the docs, test a new feature or contribute code. As a free and open source project of the Open Home Foundation, anyone can help shape what comes next.
Install Music Assistant on Home Assistant or with Docker, then connect your music and speakers.
Your music. Your way. Free and open source, and a project of the Open Home Foundation.
