It is right now impossible to see if the connection to music assistant works (entering wrong credentials does not give an error), it would be helpful to somehow show if the connection was established successfully.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will add this in the next beta.
Do you have a specific requirement that requires you to use a music assistant bridge?
@tobsch commented on GitHub (Jan 25, 2026):
Hmmm, no not really - I use it because I thought it makes sense to have all spotify accounts etc in one place. I yet do not use music assistant a lot but I thought it may be handy to build zones etc and will have a companion app soon.
how do you think about this?
@rudyberends commented on GitHub (Jan 25, 2026):
No strong opinion, really — I’m mostly curious how people are using it.
I think they did a great job overall, and if you use it as your primary music application, it makes a lot of sense. However, purely as a backend to feed lox-audioserver, I wouldn’t really recommend it anymore. Most, if not all, of that functionality can now be handled natively.
@tobsch commented on GitHub (Jan 25, 2026):
Sooo, I am switching over from Sonos and i "hope" to at-a-certain-point be able to create spotify connect groups from within spotify as sonos can.
Besides that, I like that it is a clean abstraction. Recently "agentic coded" this: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tschlottke_my-daughter-watched-the-ipad-for-60-minutes-activity-7416841698632380416-haz9?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAABgncsBrFE4i4-0kNPUJz21k9Hmohf7m_Y
I think for such things its much better to have a clean abstraction instead of working with spotify directly, isn't it?

This is added in
60d44c0. It will not be possible anymore to save an MA bridge with invalid ip or credentials.It will be in the next beta.
