I just got a premium new electronic Device that DIDN'T require me to create an account to use it, never mind a subscription. Feels weird!
It's a Wiim smart speaker, and it has native support for Lyrion Media Server, which is so old (but still up to date) that it is from a time when developers asked "why would you make a login?"

@kelbot @redeagle This is dated now, but I had some bad experiences with mpd: https://changelog.complete.org/archives/9280-sound-players-adventures-with-ampache-mpd-pulseaudio-raspberry-pi-and-logitech-media-server and https://changelog.complete.org/archives/7576-decisions-on-listening-to-music .
The really nice thing about #LogitechMediaServer / #SlimServer / #SqueezeBox is that from my control app, I can control every player in the house. Turn them on/off, add them to the sync group or remove them (so they play things standalone), adjust volume, etc. Very nice, and all this can be done from an Android app, in addition to basic music selection.
