A music system for 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.

One library across your music sources Search your streaming services and your own collection together.

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.

Free, open source and private Your music system stays under your control.

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.

Keep the music going Put your phone away or take the queue to another room.

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.

Move music between rooms
Play in sync across compatible speakers Including AirPlay and Sendspin together.

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.

Learn about groups
The best sound each speaker can play Gapless albums, smoother transitions and consistent volume.

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.

How the audio pipeline works
Make music part of your smart home Voice control, automations and announcements with Home Assistant.

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.

Connect Home Assistant
Move your playlists Take your favorites to another service.

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.

Get lost in the music.

One place to find what to play next, whichever service it comes from.
