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

Well, in case anyone thinks of torturing yourself building doing, don’t use SD cards!

Set everything up but there was a little stuttering and no amount of offloading to ram eliminated it so now testing an NVME drive thru USB. Again, not ideal but I’m not in a rush to pay inflated PI prices so while I have a 2TB NVME hat, I don’t have a PI 5 so… make do where you can! lol

My plan was to get a 2-3TB but thought it’d be too much so tried shoehorning it before remembering I already had the drive! 🤦‍♂️ 🤨
