Indeed, many albums on LP could be described similarly, with each side being a separate and distinct work. When the medium switches to CD, or folder full of files, or a stream from a server, the pause marking the boundary between sides is lost. And that changes the experience. It still shocks me when I play Sgt. Pepper and Within You Without You starts up immediately after the conclusion of Mr. Kite. Speaking of different ways of packaging the same thing, and getting back to my original question: I am marginally aware of other music systems based on Raspberry Pi, like Max2Play, but have never felt a need to investigate anything other than piCorePlayer. Should I be looking at some of these alternatives when the time comes to set up a permanent system for my friends? I see that some include LMS, but have never understood what advantages they might offer.
