Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] DietPi now has Roon Install Available
Okay, what I want to try next is to install MPD on DIetPi. I like MPD on RoonAudio but the problem is you can't update MPD without breaking Rune and I don't want to have to wait YEARS between updates. Also I do like the idea of having a more slimmed down and supped up OS for MPD. The only thing is getting Spotify to work, I'd have to configure everything myself.:rolleyes: edwardthern's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66099 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106470 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

After about a good two weeks I realized it's nothing more than a flashy UI. It sounds the same as picoreplayer or any other playerexcept a tad more low end bass imo. Yes LMS will outlast Roon, as Roon only works with Tidal. Spotify will never maker it to Roon if that matters to some people. But then no other music providers are on Roon either. Roon is also resource heavy because of all three database stuff out has going on, so you need a pretty good PC to be the Roon Core. Deitpi had been rock solid. I have added and removed a ton of features/software without problems and it always works perfectly. It cleaned up back to a basic SL player without any problems. Samba and NAS connection works perfectly and installed in a snap. You can even tune the OS really easy with the UI. Kernel upgrades etc all works great too. With other players like Voluminous and Rune Audio you are stuck and can't upgrade MPD or anything without breaking it. edwardthern's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66099 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106470 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Interesting about the native roon bridge ( roon does squeezebox and Squeezelite to ). I've intended to try roon it has it flaws and some features that LMS does not have. I seen no software close to replace LMS roon is a contender , but wonder if not LMS will outlive roon too ? Is dietpi more stable than picore ? Any particular standout feature . When my PI's arrive I will fable with picore max2play and possibly dietpi.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] DietPi now has Roon Install Available
Been working with DietPi and trying other tools/programs etc. Man this thing has to be the best put together distro for RPi yet!!! Just for kicks I'm going to install Clementine Music Player. I might have to use a screen to do the initial set up but I think I'll be able to run 'headless' once I get everything working correctly. Best thing is Clementine makes a Android remote so I can use that to operate everything. Worse come to worse I can use VNC to control it. edwardthern's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66099 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106470 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
