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 just need an AirPlay Audio server so I can stream music from my phone to my stereo. Volumio fits the bill but is probably overkill. I’m open to any suggestions for an up to date FOSS alternative.
I believe this would be a good update: https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync
However, I am not aware of a premade iso you could just flash onto a raspberry pi. But I have also not looked very hard.
