thanks Tim, I'm aware Squeezelite requires LMS and LMS is built-in in my fritzbox router.
again, I hate to make comparisons but I'm only trying to explain what I mean and as you can see I'm no thech person
with Volumio you can get an array of possible music sources, including storage on your network (via SMB) and the music server. As I understand it, what the latter really does is use the LMS you may have (in my case on board of the fritzbox) and let you source the music. In other words, Volumio only provides the interface for something you already have (and need to have, otherwise Volumio alone won't suffice). I'm not sure it does so via Squeezelite, but I thought activating Squeezelite on Moode would provide the same result. I just haven't seen it happen in my set.
Hope I'm making myself clear, it's not easy to talk about things I'm only now trying to understand
