There's really only one choice: Logitech Media Server. <br>
<br>
Originally written to serve to dedicated hardware (which one can still <br>
find on ebay if so predisposed) but the server software itself is Free <br>
Software written in perl, and it integrates into various streaming <br>
services, podcasts, and online radio stations. There are native <br>
(third-party) clients for iOS and Android, and generic Free Software <br>
clients you can run on Linux and Windows. There's also purpose-built <br>
plug-n-play Raspberry Pi images (PiCorePlayer) with the software on it, <br>
even supporting external DACs and whatnot for much better sound quality.<br>
<br>
(It also supports UPnP renderers and servers!)<br>
<br>
The dedicated hardware is long since EOL'd, but Logitech is still paying <br>
someone to maintain the server software, but even if that goes away it's <br>
still fully Free Software and thus will presumably be usable forever.<br>
<br>
(I've been running it since back in the 2003 timeframe, when it was <br>
still called the SLiMP3 server by an outfit called Slim Devices)<br>
<br>
Google can tell you how to get started, but I recommend going with the <br>
latest nightly build instead one of the relatively old releases. I'll <br>
be glad to help (off-list) if you need it.<br>
