Jumping in as a lurker :) I'm not sure why I still subscribe to this list, nostalgia I guess... I haven't had a working slimserver for years.
My current solution is not very hi-fi, but it's fairly simple and quite convenient: - All my music is copied to a MicroSD card on an Android tablet - I run an Android music player (Rocket Player is my current favourite, but I've tried a few) to play music, select albums/playlists etc - When at home I use a ChromeCast audio plugged into my amplifier to play the music on the stereo. When mobile I use headphones plugged into the tablet. The only fiddly thing is playlist management - my main music files are managed by ITunes (as for years I used my iPod Classic as my main mobile player, and it's handy for organising and ripping) - and I have to use some hand-rolled scripts to turn iTunes playlists into m3u files. I also sync my music to a Plex server, which in theory I can use to play music on my PS4 - but in practice this sucks, the music interface is pretty poor and it doesn't seem to do playlists at all. I'd love to know if there's any sort of PS4-based player that people like... - Korny On 20 March 2018 at 19:41, Kaizen28 < kaizen28.8eg...@no-mx.forums.slimdevices.com> wrote: > > markm9999 wrote: > > I agree with the 'buy plenty of spares' comment ;);););) (see my > > signature below!). > > > > To the original poster - could you clarify what type of functionality > > you are looking for? > > What I mean by this is, are you looking for the ability to play high > > sampling rates, use an outboard DAC, etc., or are you just looking for a > > simple 'end point' to plug into your stereo. > > It depends...
