Cheap to buy, and very cheap to run. There are 'dedicated' solutions, like PiCorePlayer, or DIY, like installing LMS on Raspbian. The former is simplest -- just "install and go" -- but the latter doesn't require more than novice Linux skills + enthusiasm (I know, because even I managed to do it). Also, using a 'full' OS (eg, Raspbian, rather than a dedicated solution) gives you more flexibility -- eg, for using the Pi as a more general file server, if that's something you might want. Basically, whatever you want to do, there's almost certainly a way of doing it with a Pi -- and there's a terrific community here who will give you all the help you need to do it.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Eco Friendly LMS Survey
If you're looking at a dedicated LMS server I'd think the PiCorePlayer with LMS installed is what you're looking for. I think a Raspberry Pi 3B+ or 4B would do the job. If you want it to also be a player you would probably want a daughter board with your choice of output, analog or digital or you could go the USB DAC route. https://www.picoreplayer.org/main_getting_started.shtml Several threads in the Linux section on different versions of PiCorePlayer https://forums.slimdevices.com/forumdisplay.php?3-Linux-Unix I built just a player using a Pi 3B and a HifiBerry DAC without LMS and it was very easy. You could also look at Max2Play https://www.max2play.com/en/ Main system - Rock Solid with LMS 7.9.1 Official on WHS 2011 - 2 Duets and Squeeseslave Cabin system - Rock solid with LMS 7.9.1 Official on Win10 Pro - 1 RPi 3 Model B/Hifiberry DAC+ Pro/PiCorePlayer and Squeezeslave Headphones and car - Android phone/Bluetooth w/full library on MicroSD card - PowerAmp music player app (similar to Material Skin) w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111343 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Eco Friendly LMS Survey
I'm being warned by Microsoft now that my Windows 7 PC that I run LMS on will soon be extinct as far as support goes. Since this PC is on all the time, perhaps I could save some money on monthly household electrons by migrating to more "environmentally friendly" hardware that doesn't have a 400w-500w power supply. To the Community: What would be your vote on the best hardware platform to effectively run LMS on that I could leave on indefinitely and keep a low power consumption footie-print? As an aside, my Linux skills are weak but slowly developing. I'm going to, in the interim before migrating hardware, install LUbuntu on the old PC and reinstall LMS just to see if I can. I have a backup LMS on another Windows box to keep the tunes rolling while I work. All suggestions greatly appreciated.

"Squeezelite version is non R2, assuming is compliant. See players." is just an INFO message, because a non R2 version will not understand the actual sample rate of a pcm stream anfd play a loud white noise. That means you could use the Ralphy version, but need to use -W in command line. Other than this, C-3PO was made when the Ralphy version had no DSD support in it. "Unable to run C-3PO transcoder, fault back to PERL. See server log." means the executable (C-3PO) is not working for some reason (probably it miss the X capability), the C-3PO.pl is used instead, nothing more. In general, I wrote to Micheel to know if is there any opportunity to point to GitHub (or elsewhere) and not to my server for the repo, too bad my provider went default and I'm currently struggling with bureaucracy to have my domain back, if someone is willing to host it, feel free.

R2 is a version of squeezelite built on top of the last one made by triode, back at the days there where no one maintaining it. What R2 added was: 1. capability to look at the Wav header, so it could receive upsampled PCM content. The same patch was adopted by Daèhile first and then Ralphy (-W) 2. includes the DSD playbach patch from Daphile. 3. forget the 'length' in header to solve the problem with long tracks. I sent all of them to Ralphy, I believe 2 is implemented in a slightly different manner, I don't know nothing about 3. There is no reason to use R2 today, if not that is 'lighter', missing all the other was added to squeezelite.

I'm going to try to do the latter today. Of course, as is to be expected for Arch Linux, I'll have to spend some time studying the documentation on how it handles logs first. If it comes to that I'll create a new SD and try to boot, but I'm almost sure it's a configuration problem. I've learned that the Wandboard has a bug that prevents it from properly recognizing an HDMI monitor. Meanwhile I'm waiting in a USB-to-serial cable so I can try to boot via TTY. I'll keep you posted. I owe this forum a full description of how I (almost? maybe?) created a small NAS that will run LMS.
