I am using LMS because it is so furious fast. Before I tested last year Volumio and a few others on a Pi 3B+ and compared them on the original 7" Pi display. Attached was a music mediathek (original copy of my iTunes/Music mediathek) with 30000 files. They are all really slow at browsing though the artists and albums and not really usable for me. The WAF (woman acceptance factor) was really low. Then I saw piCorePlayer with the LMS installation. I took 30 minutes or so to create the database for LMS on the Pi, but afterwards is was really fun to browse through the library. That was my system I wanted to use!
Now I have a Pi 4B with piCorePlayer and LMS and attached USB Harman Kardon Soundsticks as the server. My Pi 3B+ is only a client now with Hifiberry DAC and 7" Display. Then there are two Airport Express stations attached via Airplay bridge to the LMS on the Pi 4B. They are controlled by tablets using an app on the one and a browser using material skin on the other. As long as this works, I will not change something here! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ carsten_h's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112042 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
