Queue, control and lyrics.

THE PLATFORM

Support your hardware choices.

Core is being qualified against several transport families. Actual compatibility varies by device and release.

Meridian V3

Native Sooloos-compatible endpoint playback undergoing hardware endurance tests.

Other receivers

Sonos, Lyrion/Squeezebox, Cast and UPnP families have individual implementations and compatibility rules.

Resource-conscious

The minimum hardware design target remains 4 GB RAM; large-collection qualification is still open.
