When starting the app for the first time you are asked about some information about the Music Assistant Server.
Important
The app requires that the webserver is exposed. You can set that in the settings:
Squeezelite comes embedded in the application. This allows playback of music to your computer. The player name will be the same as your computer name. You can change the name in Music Assistant settings. You can also toggle if you wish to enable squeezelite at all.
To allow playback to the companion app you have to enable the slimproto provider in the Music Assistant settings.
Like the Spotify app, the Music Assistant app can do Discord Rich Presence.
Example of Discord Rich Presence:
You can download the .msi installer from the releases.
You can download the .dmg from the releases.
Or you can download it using homebrew: brew install music-assistant/tap/companion
This app is on the arch aur with the name music-assistant-desktop or music-assistant-desktop-bin for just the binary

You can download the .deb from the releases.
You can download the AppImage from the releases.
