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!

Qobuz is a much better company that compensates artists fairly, and the music assistant integration work is great!

    Oh for sure! I am just meaning specifically the Spotify Connect casting in general.

    Then you don't have to use Music Assistant's really clunky and weird interface and anyone that comes to your house can just put on music from their own account and own app direct through WiFi without worrying about Bluetooth connection and signal.

    I just looked and apparently Qobuz has a Connect feature that launched last year!

    I hope Music Assistant integrates that! Apparently digital hi-fi systems are also still busy integrating the functionality, including Sonos/IKEA. It would help a ton of people switch to quobuz

    Not according to the documentation.

    Qobuz connect is something else that only got released 1 year ago. Spotify Connect even is only still in alpha on Music Assistant and that has been around for many years.

    You can already for years simply find library items from qobuz in the music assistant UI, but playing music to an external Music Assistant provider directly from the Qobuz app on a different device has yet to be implemented.

    Unless the documentation and github issues are all wrong. If you are able to just do that by default, you probably want to give some information as to how on the github feature request.

    Ah, I now understand. I was misunderstanding you before.

    I am using Qobuz connect and playing music from within Music Assistant. I indeed cannot play from the Qobuz app to music assistant yet.

    I didn't even know it was a possibility being worked on.
