I’m running a <cough, cough> years old instance of Volumio 2 on a Raspberry Pi 3

The security of this is terrible, but it sits in my bedroom with a local USB drive full of music and works absolutely fine with a Nanosound DAC audio preamp hat / board which makes it sound lovely… which I don’t want to change (it handles a remote control with power on / off)

When Volumio 3 came along, I wasn’t impressed, didn’t see the software improving much… it was starting to be more of a pull towards their subscriptions

So, I’ve left it alone and feel like it might be worth a revisit.

So, how’s Volumio 4? Or… should I consider another FOSS product ( has to work with the same hardware).

    I remember trying piCorePlayer when I was considering alternatives to Volumio3 and - from memory - the UI was a bit weird?

    Like, it started in one UI, but then you had to do a few things to get to another?

    But, ok, I’ll take another look as I’d forgotten about it. Thanks
