Honestly, I hate the squeezelite interface. Something about the UI just bothers me. It's a petty personal thing over a product that actually works quite well. My only real gripe with it is that when I add new music to my library and scan for new files, it often pulls albums that I've added years ago, that haven't been touched, etc. Sometimes I wonder if it's actually cataloguing my collection correctly. I thought I'd read that was a known issue, to clear the library and start fresh once in a while, but that's too time-consuming.
I originally bought my Pi to play MAME. I have a ginormous ROM set and did all the tricks of checking my ROMs against my build. I was a bit disappointed in what games were available and how they worked. I found many to be glitchy. I've thought hard about getting a small form factor PC instead with a better graphics card/chip and going that route. That experience caused me to shelve the Pi for a year until this December when my wife asked me what I wanted for my Bday. I opted for the HiFiBerry Dac+ to monkey around with. I'm sure MAME functionality is better now than it was then and will continue to get fixes, etc. The nice thing about a Pi is that you just need a micro-SD card which means you can swap OS/images quite easily!
I may run an HDMI cable to my TV downstairs for album artwork. I hadn't thought about KODI.
I can't get volumio.local to work either but using the IP address seems to work fine. Is there a way to sync the IP and just have it symlink to volumio.local?
