I know that people might have issues with the subscription model or find that at present Volumio doesnt quite compare to the far more mature LMS, but I think its worth considering that the people behind Volumio are trying to create something with long-term sustainability. Something that will be around in ten or more years.
What is the LMS long-term plan? Can you guarantee that a volunteer supported project and plugins will still be around in ten years? Or even this time next year. Might it be a good idea to stop looking for Volumios current failings and limitations and perhaps engage with the project to help with its shortcomings. Thinking of Volumio not as an inferior upstart but instead as an insurance policy. A backup you can turn to if LMS goes belly up. While Im here, I thought you might be interested to know that it was my frustrations with PCP that motivated me to ask the question. Ive been running LMS via PCP on a Pi3A+. With this arrangement I find it impossible to stream 320k BBC Radio 3 or to play FLAC files from another LMS. The best I can hope for is 2 second bursts followed by 5 seconds of silence. However, when I install the LMS plugin on Volumio its all 100%. With the same hardware and the same wi-fi connection LMS will stream BBC R3 and play FLAC files perfectly. Volumio just works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pettifoggery's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69041 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112042
