Recently the O2 Joggler has proven a popular device for running Logitech's open source SqueezePlay software, providing a similar interface to the Squeezebox Touch on a 7" display.

There is also a free software emulator version of the Squeezebox, called Softsqueeze, which is written in Java and can be run easily as an applet inside a web page.

[5] In 2019, Squeezelite has been ported[6] to the ESP32 WiFi/BT chipset and works on WROVER and ESP-A1S module or any board that includes an ESP32 and 4MB of SRAM (e.g. SqueezeAMP) There is as well three free open source "bridges" that allow UPnP/DLNA, ChromeCast and AirPlay devices to appear as regular SB players.

The Lyrion Music Server software is written in Perl, and will run on Linux, Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, BSD, and piCorePlayer platforms.

This generally results in lower energy consumption than running Lyrion Music Server on a personal computer, whilst offering the same feature set (albeit with a slightly less responsive web interface under certain circumstances).

The Material Skin for LMS provides a fully responsive HTML5/Javascript user interface for Lyrion Music Server, suitable for both mobile and desktop usage.

[7] There are numerous plug-ins and device drivers available for Lyrion Music Server, which include features such as support for automation systems from Clare Controls, AMX LLC and Crestron Electronics.

As of September 2019, Lyrion Music Server is controllable by a full-function Alexa skill (called 'MediaServer'[8]) available in the en-US and en-GB locales.
