Max2Play supports a great variety of pre-installed and optional software players, including Kodi (formerly XBMC), MPD, SharePort, GMediaRender or Squeezelite for Logitech Media Server (also known as Squeezebox Server). In addition to the comfortable integration of various audio players, Max2Play also allows you to adjust the sound quality with a software equalizer or a low-pass filter according to your individual preferences.

Multiroom Audio

Max2Play allows you to output the same audio signal in different zones or multiple rooms simultaneously. You may, for example, play the same sound in both the kitchen and the living room. Thanks to its Multisqueeze plugin Max2Play is able to run several instances of Squeezelite audio players at the same time, so that smaller multizone audio setups can already be operated by only a Raspberry Pi. In this way, Max2Play lets you implement multiroom audio setups easily and cost effectively!

This picture is an illustration of the Max2Play audioplayer feature. The Max2Play audioplayer feature consists of three different aspects: Your input sources like your NAS, USB Drive, Streaming Providers like Spotify or Internet Radio for instance, secondly, the Max2Play web interface for easy configuration and, lastly, your output devices such as an amplifier with speakers, a wireless bluetooth speaker or your HDMI Multimedia device.
The Multiroom Audioplayer feature is based on a Squeezebox Server (also known as "Logitech Media Server" or "LMS"), which is hosted by one Max2Play device. The Squeezebox Server keeps all audioplayers in your network synchronized. This results in a synchronous audio playback in different rooms.
