Thanks for all responses so far.
Paul, what you are describing is very close to what I have in mind, but my friends don't yet have enough experience with current music technology to know what their preferences are. They are certain they don't want always-listening smart speakers. Other than that, I'm trying to get them to play around with streaming services, so they can find out what they like and whether they need to have a local library. bpa, thanks for your clarification about when updates are needed. That's something I'll need to keep in mind for my friends. Gary, I notice your brother's instructions are to pull the plug if there's a problem with pcp. I understand that can cause problems when LMS is running on pcp. Do you do anything to deal with issues that might arise? Is it enough to be sure there's a backup SD card ready to swap out, in case the one in use becomes corrupted?
