Thanks for that clarification, Castalla! That helps shed some perspective on what I've seen so far. For my #1 Pi, I think you're right: Raspbian will be a more robust OS to suit my goal to have a Media PC-like experience. Now, the remaining part is: How do I get a SqueezePlay-like, "windowed" player to run on a Raspbian Desktop. I read something from our guru Ralphy about builds for "Linux Frame Buffer" and others for X11 support but I'm not sure what these are. I didn't find the older package he 'referenced in a 2017-08-13 post' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107837-Install-Squeezeplay-on-RPi3-with-full-OS-not-just-picore-or-max2play&p=891854&viewfull=1#post891854) that indicated an X11 Supported version. Not sure if that's what I need or not. I'm currently running the default, NOOBS Raspbian that came with my Raspberry Pi 4B from Canakit. Thanks for all you guys do! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ noexit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66502 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111465 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
