Adding Mac as a Player to Sense

[Timberwolf]

Hope this is not a stupid question, but how can I add my Mac Studio and usb attached Chord Mojo as a Player to Sense. My setup is Sense running on Innuos Zenmini MkIII ethernet attached to my network and currently playing to Naim ND5XS2 and Naim Muso Gen 1. I also have a Chord Mojo connected via usb to my Mac Studio for listening at my study desk. Is it possible to stream Sense to my Mac Studio and play to the Chord Mojo or the Mac Studio speakers, and if so how do I configure Sense to do this? I can do this via Roon running on my Nucleus One which "sees' all the endpoint players in my house, but Sense doesn't. I have a vague recollection from a conversation with Nuno a couple of years ago that it was possible to set up LMS to stream to the Mac and Mojo, but never followed up on it. Any help appreciated!

I am not sure what the most up to date app would be for MacOS, but you basically need a program that runs Squeezelite client on your Mac which turns into an endpoint that the Sense app would automatically see. This may do it:

Squeezelite for Mac, Plays music streamed from the Logitech media Server.

Headless (no user interface) software music player that allows you to play music streamed from Logitech Media Server.

I used https://lyrion.org/players-and-controllers/squeezeplay/ before I had my zen mini in my workroom. Works great on OS X!

Stephen, you are a Star! After a bit of a struggle with Macos Security features I got the squeezelite player downloaded and installed on my Mac Studio m1 Ultra and pointed it at the ZenMini and now I can stream Sense to my Mac and attached Mojo. All fine.
