Music Assistant aggregates many services into one library. That full library is exposed in Loxone under a single "Music Assistant" Spotify account.

New release will support local library on its own. the ma library will be unified with all other services (except radio) under the music assistant spotify account

Ok. So you extend your project to add a media library instead of adding it in MA and therefore it shows emulates a library in loxone audio zone?

Yes, I’m extending the project to include a local media library in the next release. However, also in the current release, Music Assistant (MA) is not mapped to the Loxone local media library.

Music Assistant maintains its own concatenated library. You can add an Apple Music provider, a Spotify provider, and a local filesystem library, and all of these are merged into a single MA library. That is simply how MA works. This entire combined library is then exposed by lox-audioserver as one Spotify account, meaning all MA-enabled providers appear together there.

With the new release (and enabled by MA 2.7), there are options to split services, allowing you to separate them logically. Even then, they are still presented to Loxone as fake Spotify accounts.

If there is demand, we could map the local library to the Loxone local media library, but I don’t think that adds much value. You can just as easily point Loxone to the same network share, and the media will already be available there.
