I'm sorting out my remaining RPis. After selling 3 to forum members, I have 4 left to dispose of (3x3B, 1x3B+, 1xB+). I've just loaded and configured LMS on the lowly B+ (512MB RAM), and although it was slow to scan a 20K track library, it's perfectly usable. Just sayin'. :) *LMS server/study player - LMS 8.3.0 *Pi4B 4GB/NanoSound ONE case/pCP 8.1.0 - 75K library, playlists & LMS cache on Sata SSD (ntfs) *Lounge* - Pi2/pCP 8.1.0 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > Topping E30 > AVI DM5 *Dining Room* - Echo Show 8 *Garage* - Squeezebox Touch > Edifier *Spares* - 1xSB Radio, 1xSB3, 6xRPi, 1xDAC32, 1xCORE32 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115511 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
