rAudio is the only player I've tried that has a loose sort (dropping articles such as "the") when sorting file directories. I used to keep up with Volumio and Moode, maybe they've changed. My installation of LMS has an optional loose sort for meta data but strictly sorts files. So LMS puts...

rAudio will do this for you.

rAudio has been a stand alone offshoot from Rune for about three years now and can be found here: https://github.com/rern/rAudio I tried the rest and I like it the best. I still keep piCore around for its invaluable Chromecast capability.

I mostly use rAudio (formerly known as RuneAudio and never to be confused with Roon). I much prefer its UI over everything else I've tried including Volumio and Moode. For remote locations (garage, porch) I use PiCorePlayer/LMS which usually works well with Chromecast. Everthing is runnning...

After the most recent two updates, I lost Chromecast Bridge. Entered plugin settings and selected binary "squeeze2cast-linux-aarch64-static". Now it's back but can't say yet if it's stable.

Chromecast bridge is the primary reason I use piCore/LMS. It's been a while but i originally did a full install (Squeezelite, LMS, Material Skin) sourced from the piCore site. Then I modified my setup using Settings>Server>select Plugins and enable Chromecast bridge with a checkmark in the box.

There are workarounds for setup without a LAN connection say if your listening area is far from your router. I usually enter my WiFi credentials into the "wifi0" file immediately after I image my SD card. Alternatively without a wifi connection rAudio (nee Rune) creates a hot spot. Connect...

Sadly inflation is making a $500 system more of a challenge to build. My current system cost slightly less than that but I couldn't reproduce it due to Raspberry Pi shortages. And it takes some luck to find deals. Source - CDs ripped to NAS (already had a NAS for documents and photos so no...

Eva Cassidy? She certainly had a beautiful voice, played guitar and worked with a brother in an early band. Lots of soul and jazz standards. With only one release in her too short lifetime, a lot of what was released later is demo/rehearsal type stuff. Whether she's now well-known is in the ear...

I mostly use rAudio and piCore/LMS. piCore is a little more work but it has a killer addon, Chromecast Bridge, The Bridge that lets anyone in the house steer their music from the NAS to six different chrome players without adding an app (like BubbleUpnP) to their phone. The only downside to...

You can buy a hat for the Pi with coax output. E.g. https://www.allo.com/sparky/digione.html

My GDradio streams at 96kbs. As a recent convert to piCore I was wondering if anyone has tried the Live Music Archive plugin (archive.org). Most GD shows stream at 180vbr on the archive.

That's funny my phone is showing a picture of Led Zeppelin. I must have screwed up the install. I have replaced Volumio with pCore on my upstairs system. Keeping rAudio on main system at least until I get Bluetooth working on piCP. I need to play podcasts and cast to the BT speakers...

I like rAudio (formerly known as Rune) https://github.com/rern/rAudio-1 I greatly prefer the rAudio UI over Volumio including the new beta version 3.0. And the price is right - free. I recently tested piCore and found it a little more effort to install and a little less phone friendly.

Out of curiosity I installed pCP/LMS today. Thanks cpt for the guide. Connected to NAS and USB sources. Instead of a DAC I tested with headphone jack. There's a lot still to explore with pCP but my initial impression is that Volumio/rAudio/Moode are more newbie-friendly (easier to install and...

Other options for the RPi are rAudio and Moode, both completely free. I moved one of my RPis to Volumio 3.0 beta this weekend and all the plugins now require registration and/or subscription. Try them all - changing systems is as easy as changing a SD card. If you already have the Pi an a SD...

Ana Popovic tonight at City Winery (Philadelphia).

Circa 1995 I had a JVC receiver (RX403), CD player and tapedeck that shared Compu Link connections. All still functional but packed away.

Went to Best Buy for a laptop power supply for my Hifiberry Amp2. Inside the front vestibule they had electronic recycling bins that were overflowing with discards. Saw what I needed right on top and left a happy (non)customer.

Just ordered tkts for Tedeschi Trucks Band at WXPN festival for my wife's birthday. She's not familiar with them but she will be by concert time (kinda like when Homer bought Marge the bowling ball:)).

One man's Bach is another man's Grateful Dead - I also have to scroll through folders rather than search. If you still want to play the CDs, rAudio (nee Rune) can control a CD player attached via USB.

I'm a Linux user but I believe 7-zip in Windows will extract .xz files. From their site: The main features of 7-Zip High compression ratio in 7z format with LZMA and LZMA2 compression Supported formats: Packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM Unpacking only: AR, ARJ, CAB...

I still use a pair in a spare bedroom and I'm proud to say I'm the original owner.

Some may differ but I believe the risk of plug pulling is that files on the SD card being written or read at that moment may become corrupted. Since the first advice you'll get from any of the authorities on player sites is to reimage your card you're probably going to fix that if it had...
