RasPi Local / Remote Music Playback (feddit.uk)

Hi good people... just looking for some feedback ...

I have a couple of Raspberry Pi 3 with audio amp outputs (one has a touchscreen as well).

They're currently running Volumio (v2) which we can control remotely with our phones, but that software is old, insecure, and could really do with an update...

Volumio (v4) doesn't inspire me much, plus, it's good to check out the alternatives.

So, I'm looking at replacing the local-audio playback with perhaps Moode ... or maybe piCorePlayer and perhaps adding Navidrome for remote access??

I'd need to be able to play radio streams too, with a sleep timer / wakeup function, so not sure if that's a deal breaker (it's hard to find these features on their websites)

Any alternatives that others can suggest (rAudio?) or other feedback?

Or am I ahead of the curve and I have found the Best Solution™️?

TIA

I like picoreplayer.

Tried moode, but i think picore is a bit more flexible.

Yeah, I installed it again yesterday...

Seems really unintuitive after the initial setup steps (which do a good job of walking you through the initial setup), so I did bork it up once.

I think the hardest point for me is that it's based on Tiny Core Linux, so I can't install anything else (ie even tmux), so I'm having issues with getting the touchscreen working.

I'll try Moode today...

I added tmux packages for 32 and 64 bit pi a few months back.

They need you to install a utf8 compatible locale though.

Hmmm, ok, I'll try it again...

And the touchscreen 👍🏻

Also, I have a touchscreen going :)
