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 don’t remember why but years ago I opted for Moode over Volumino. Just upgraded from a pi2 running Moode 8 to a pi3 on Moode 10. At some point they upgraded to a 64bit base os forcing my hardware update.

    Local library from a Nas, Streaming sources , mpd controls , connects with many platforms, started using it with Home Assistant music server last summer running my outdoor speakers.
