I am not a techie.  Have no Linux knowledge at all.  Don’t have time to
tinker, but figured I’d at least give a raspberry pi a shot while I own
a workable SB Touch.  

After getting over the initial fear I bought a kit with a case, and
located the instructions on this site for how to load squeezelite.  I
can’t recall if it worked flawlessly the first time I turned it on, but
I did get it to work. In the past 2-3 years since I bought it I may have
have to reboot it twice.  It works flawlessly. 

As for multi-room, I decided to ditch the synchronized multi-SB setup I
used to have and started buying Denon HEOS speakers and a Marantz
HEOS-enabled network streamer. I was already going to upgrade my stereo
so that money was going to be spent anyway.  Synchronization is much
better than my old multi-SB network of players.  

The lesson here is don’t rule out the Pi if you can’t find something
else that fits your needs.  The hardest part, frankly, is getting over
the fear factor that you’re going to spend months having to figure out
how to make it work when it really doesn’t take that long once you
commit to it.



I’m down to one SB Touch and a Raspberry Pi. Mac Mini as a server (OS X
Catalina).  iPeng is my controller of choice.  LMS 7.9.4. Erland’s plug
ins are what keep me in the ecosystem.
