All your music.

In one place.

Say goodbye to switching between multiple apps.

At Volumio we bring together all your music sources into one platform. Play your music files & stream from your favourite music services such as TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify & more!

The lightweight version of Volumio. Built for affordable products and light enough to run on cost-sensitive hardware.

Runs on almost anything

  • ~200 MB RAM
  • ~1 GHz CPU
  • Can run as a container on hardware already in the field
  • Same control API as Volumio 4, your integrations still work

What you get

  • Streaming that keeps working: Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz Connect, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2. We track every protocol change for you.
  • Great playback: gapless, DSD, DAC hotplug, smart volume control.
  • MCU control: Get control over your MCU and its freatures.
  • Every input: line-in, optical, coax, HDMI, phono, USB, and more.
  • A finished app: iOS and Android, branded as yours, maintained by us.
  • Easy setup: music playing in a few taps.
  • Safe updates: signed, staged, with rollback if something goes wrong.

Two ways to use it

Connect OS. We handle the whole device: OS, app, updates, everything
Connect SDK for teams with their own Linux stack. One install adds streaming via a dedicated container. You keep the rest.

Same core. Same app. You choose how much we/you handle.
