@rgoodwin yes this is using AirConnect under the hood, and I recommend using AirConnect directly for people who want a command line service and/or Linux support. Good to know about the memory leak issues you've seen; I haven't seen anything glaring in my testing but I'll look into adding a memory usage watchdog to restart the service (when music *isn't* playing!) if allocations start ballooning. And thank you for the heads up about the purchase link! I just published version 1.2.2 that fixes the link and cleans up a few cosmetic issues.

Hi Kishore, thanks for the feedback! If you are technically inclined and have a bit of patience, I recommend running AirConnect (https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect). It's a headless service that runs on multiple platforms including Linux, and can be installed on a Raspberry Pi or some routers. AudioBridge is meant to be a click-and-forget option for people not running Linux or who don't want to fiddle with a command line service. Sonos is working on adding AirPlay 2 support in 2018 so hopefully that provides an even easier option, although it's possible it will only be supported on newer speakers.

@patricksrail I own an Echo so this would be personally interesting to me, but I'm not sure exactly what the integration would look like. I've mainly used Brilliance as an "autopilot" mode for Hue, while I use Echo to manually retrieve information and control things. Maybe just getting the two to play nicely together?
