Hi Antonio, I was similarly concerned about using Exagear, in particular as it is not open source and thus the future might be unpredictable... That thought triggered my investigation for other options.... . The trick why you do not see the reference to Quemu is the installation of the binfmt package. This package allows you to start binaries compiled for different architectures without explicitly starting an emulator, it will call the emlator of choice if required.... For your other question: No you do not need Msy2Play for running MusicIP under your raspberry setup. You might need to adapt some details to your personal setup / operating system, however the principles I described should be the same. I assume the setup which Henk describes is a completely different one (different hardware, different operating system, but he still made it work with few adaptions to the startup script). As long as you operate under a Debian derived operating system (e.g. Raspian) you should be fine... For everybody reading this thread: Success stories, failures or lessons learnt are appreciated in this thread as this should be a guidance for more setups, and it should help the community to prevent investing in unnecessary hardware and software.
