Help me understand a RuneAudio software/Raspberry Pi System

Why not just run squeezelite on your Pis and run it as a Pi Squeezebox? It is what I plan on doing once I get the time to load up the system on the Pi stuff I recently bought.

I am presently running squeezelite on three pogoplugs and have no complaints. Up until three weeks ago I ran squeezelite on a Raspberry Pi 2. I recently installed retrpopie (a 80's gaming OS) on a new microSD card for the RPi2. I may try and add squeezelite to that OS or I can just swap mico SD cards and go back to Raspian/Squuezelite any time I want.

I am happy to see that LMS just added a native app for Tidal but it is still limited to only two streaming services. Whereas the CCA has a lot more streaming services available. That said a lot of the music I listen to is live concerts recorded by "amatuers" that is not available through streaming. So before I make any changes I need to know that CCA can play local files without any fuss or complications. I know LMS can act as a UPnP/DNLA mediaserver so I think it will be doable. Those CCA disks are very attractive compared to a pogo E02.

No need to swap SD cards. I just installed squeezelite on the retropie SD card (which is running Raspian Wheezy as its OS). The RPi2 seems to have no problems running EmulationStation and Squeezelite at the same time. I am playing Galaga while listening to Clapton. Nice!
