I’m running a <cough, cough> years old instance of Volumio 2 on a Raspberry Pi 3

The security of this is terrible, but it sits in my bedroom with a local USB drive full of music and works absolutely fine with a Nanosound DAC audio preamp hat / board which makes it sound lovely… which I don’t want to change (it handles a remote control with power on / off)

When Volumio 3 came along, I wasn’t impressed, didn’t see the software improving much… it was starting to be more of a pull towards their subscriptions

So, I’ve left it alone and feel like it might be worth a revisit.

So, how’s Volumio 4? Or… should I consider another FOSS product ( has to work with the same hardware).

    I’ve been using Volumio 3 for a while to drive my office setup. I run it on Pi 3, USB to my DAC and play my FLAC over an SMB share. I mostly control it through the web interface or the Android app. I also use it as a Spotify destination.

    It’s met my needs well, but I’m not doing much complicated with it. Just play and album or playlist from my library.

    I never used Volumio 2 so I can’t comment about how it compares. I am interested to try Volumio 4 and hear what other people think.
