Lyrion Music Server (formerly Logitech Media Server, SlimServer, SqueezeCenter and Squeezebox Server) is a streaming audio server supported by the LMS community and formerly supported by Logitech, developed in particular to support their Squeezebox range of digital audio receivers.

The software is designed for streaming music over a network, allowing users to play their music collections from virtually anywhere there is an Internet connection. It supports PCM audio formats including MP3, FLAC, WAV, Ogg, Opus, and AAC, as well as transcoding. It also supports DSD audio formats such as DSF, DFF and DSD WavPack. It can stream to both software and hardware receivers, including the various Squeezebox models, as well as any media player capable of playing MP3 streams. Plugins from Logitech and third-party sources are also supported, allowing additional functionality to be added. Lyrion Music Server supports grouping clients in order to synchronize playback among all clients within a group.^[1]

Lyrion Music Server is free software, released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. While no longer distributed in conjunction with any Logitech hardware product, LMS continues to be developed.
