Play Spotify, Qobuz, TIDAL, AirPlay, Bluetooth, internet radio, podcasts, CDs and your own music library, all from one interface on its touchscreen, your phone and your Mac. Add a Raspberry Pi per room and every room plays in sync, each with its own volume and equalizer. It installs from a single image, and a setup wizard takes care of the rest, with no terminal step.

Your Mac's sound, with low latency, through Milō Mac
- Multiroom: every room on the same song, in sync. An extra Raspberry Pi finds your Milō and joins it as a speaker on its own. Zones group rooms, each speaker keeps its own volume, and a subwoofer gets the low end automatically.
- Equalizer: 10 bands, 22 presets, a compressor and loudness compensation, on every speaker separately (CamillaDSP).
- Lyrics: synced line by line with the track, on Spotify, Qobuz, TIDAL, AirPlay, your library, a CD, or the radio once the song is recognized.
- Light and dark themes, or Auto, which turns dark from sunset to sunrise. The screenshots on this page show both.
- Updates: one press updates Milō and every multiroom speaker. The programs behind the sources (Spotify Connect, AirPlay, Qobuz Connect, the music library), multiroom and the equalizer update the same way, each to the version tested with Milō.
- 8 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Hindi.
- Raspberry Pi 5 (8 GB recommended) for the main unit; a Raspberry Pi 4 (2 GB) is enough for a multiroom speaker.
- A HiFiBerry board: an amplifier for passive speakers (Amp2, Amp4, Amp4 Pro, Amp100) or a DAC for an amplifier you already own (DAC2 HD, DAC2 Pro, DAC2 ADC Pro). With a screen, the Amp4 Pro is the only amplifier that can power it.
- Optional: a Waveshare touchscreen (7" USB or 8" DSI), a volume knob, an Apple Remote or a Bluetooth remote, a USB CD drive.
Parts list and wiring: Required hardware.
- Download the latest
.img.xzfrom Releases. - Write it to a microSD card (32 GB or more) with Raspberry Pi Imager ("Use custom").
- Insert the card and power the Raspberry Pi on.
- Reach the setup wizard:
- with an Ethernet cable, open http://milo.local from a phone or computer on the same network;
- without a cable, join the open Milō Wi-Fi network, and the setup page opens on its own.
- Follow the wizard, then Milō restarts, ready to play.
Multiroom speakers use the same image. Connect them with an Ethernet cable for their first boot: that is how they find your Milō and become its speakers. Without a cable there is nothing to search on, and the Pi sets itself up as a second main unit instead.
Step by step: Installation and First boot.
Any phone, tablet or computer on the same network opens Milō at http://milo.local. Two companion apps go further:
- Milō Mac: sources, volume and multiroom from the menu bar or keyboard shortcuts, and your Mac's own sound streamed to Milō.
- Milō iOS: Milō's interface as an iPhone app, a volume widget on the Home Screen, and what Milō plays on the lock screen.
