Music Provider Feature Request Poll #4

[OzGav]

It has been twenty months since the last poll and so much has changed. MA is up to V2.7 and there have been too many music providers added to list them all!. So it is time to re-do the poll to find out what the Community would like next!

If you would like to discuss these options in more detail then here are the threads. These are in order of the previous vote numbers with new ones added to the bottom so lets see if they stay that way! Do upvote these threads as well as voting here!

I purched the HA blue Odroid N2 + 2gb of ram and now unable to stream music from Spotify, Bluetooth may be the work around for users like me who subscribe to Nabu Casa and invested in HA voice preview edition as well, its been just over 2 years on my home assistant journey and I love it but if I had known these types of issues would happen I wouldn't buy a kit for using HA thats not upgradable.

FYI, developers are also working on adding a source to the Sendspin protocol specification which in the future will allow people to have remote Sendspin client devices with local AUX audio input on their network which can forward audio input from them to the Music Assistant server, see:

• Add source@v1 role for audio input devices Sendspin/spec#52

and

• Add a "Source Role" for audio input devices so hardware can have Line-Level Audio input and can act as a Sendspin audio source? Sendspin/spec#14

and

• https://github.com/orgs/music-assistant/discussions/4545

Note! The current showstopper for before that can be added is that Sendspin spec is still missing authentication and encryption support:

• Encryption support Sendspin/backlog#32

That would among other things enable a networked ESP32-based ESPHome and Linux-based Raspberry Pi to be used a audio input source. Ex:
