KION Music

Music Assistant has support for KION Music (MTS Music). Contributed and maintained by TrudenBoy.

KION Music is a music streaming service run by MTS (Mobile TeleSystems), one of the largest telecoms companies in Russia and the CIS.

Connecting your account puts your KION library and the wider catalogue inside Music Assistant.

CAUTION

This is an unofficial implementation and is not affiliated with or endorsed by MTS or KION.

WARNING

A KION Music subscription is required for full functionality of the source and lossless (FLAC) quality. Without a subscription, the source’s full-fledged operation is not guaranteed.

Configuration

KION has no sign-in for outside apps, so a token has to be copied out of your browser.

1. Sign in to your account at music.mts.ru
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+I to open the browser’s developer tools
3. Open the Storage tab in Firefox, or the Application tab in Chrome
4. Under Local Storage, select the entry for https://music.mts.ru
5. Find the row named ya_token and copy its value
6. Paste it into the KION Music source in Music Assistant and save

WARNING

Keep your token private

Anyone who has it can get into your KION account, so do not share it or paste it anywhere when asking for help.

Settings

• Audio quality: Select preferred audio quality. Options: Efficient (AAC ~64 kbps), Balanced (AAC ~192 kbps) (default), High (MP3 320 kbps), Lossless (FLAC) (requires KION Music subscription)

Known Issues / Notes
