rAudio's Sound Strength

rAudio excels in audio output.
LMS plays everything it has to offer through rAudio.
LMS acts as the server, while rAudio functions as the player, rendering audio for an optimal listening experience.

How to Use

Turn on UPNP in rAudio settings.
LMS web interface at IP:9000.
Play your music from LMS to Squeezelite player (support multi-player). All-in-one Pi.
Select rAudio UPNP Player: Click on the rAudio UPNP player to select it for playback.
Play your music, and LMS will auto-send the link to play on rAudio UPNP.
LMS supports direct folder playback. To scan (displaying cover art), add folders to be scanned.

Use Tidal

In LMS, go to Server menu, Basic Settings, and choose mysqueezebox.com.
Add your mysqueezebox account (Tidal should be added beforehand). Tidal will appear with a logged-in status.

If you don't have an account yet:

Previously, to link Tidal via mysqueezebox.com, you needed to use a VPN for a foreign location.
If you don't have a mysqueezebox account, go to mysqueezebox.com, create an account, and add Tidal under Apps.
You can use the Opera browser (with VPN enabled) to create a mysqueezebox.com account and add Tidal.
Afterwards, use a regular browser to access mysqueezebox.com and log into Tidal.
You only need to perform this setup once. If you change Tidal accounts, add it again.

Apps for Control

You can use the rAudio Android app.
Alternatively:
- For Android: Fully Kiosk Browser & Lockdown
- For iOS: Kiosker: Fullscreen Web Kiosk
Add your device's IP, for example: 192.168.1.2:9000 or raudio.local:9000.
These apps allow displaying a fixed webpage. Once added, it's readily available on subsequent launches (full screen).
Each time you open the app, it displays the LMS Material interface.
LMS Interface + Kiosk = App Control

Enhance Your Experience

You can install this setup on an Android box to turn your TV screen into a display for your Pi.
