The main difference is the inclusion of dependancies needed to run the Google Music plugin as well as a bump in ubuntu and Squeezebox Server versions. Sonos is easy to get info on, just google. Docker Container for Logitech Media Server This is a Docker image for running the Logitech Media Server package (aka SqueezeboxServer) based on the work done by larsks. The Renderers are the devices which get digital music data streams from LMS and push them into a locally connected DAC>AMP>Speaker/HP/IEM stack.
It cllects and indexes music files, makes them browsable, and sends (streams) them to companion devices called Renderers. Better yet, find a Squeezebox TOUCH on ebay and it will be plug and play. LMS is the server, the manager of the whole system. But the do it yourself crowd is still active and you don't need to be that computer literate to get something going. Unfortunately, Logitech discontinued squeezeboxes several years ago. for squeezeboxes, they have an active forum at. Google around and you'll see lots of info.

If you go the Logitech Media Server (LMS) route you'll need a hardware squeezebox or something that emulates a squeezebox (lots of cheap options for this now, a Pi micro computer running SqueezeLite software to emulate the player, etc. I have lots of gapless albums and live shows, all play perfectly gapless and I use separate FLAC or mp3(lame) tracks.NO cuesheets. I like Asset UPnP because it adds an Add-In the the WHS Dashboard on a client PC so I can manage my headless server which resides in a closet.No, you don't need cue files for gapless.
Will need to look into installing Logitech Media Server on a Windows Home Server box. And do you need a CUE Sheet in the folder with the music to get gapless playback? And if so, FLAC or Wav CUE? And of these options you suggest which might be the most future proof? I would like to have music in other rooms without having to run wires to the other side of the house.
What does it cost to get into these systems? As it is now I'm just using DNLA to my Onkyo receiver in my living room. Well I guess I should look into those options.
