Thank you for the write up. I tried Volumio. It works great on a Pi 3B+, but is VERY slow and the GUI is messed up on the Pi Zero. Even LibreELEC ran better on the Zero. PiCore runs the best. I really need to figure out a way to use Picoreplayer on the Pi Zero. I have other music applications that would be fine with a pi 3 and other software, or PiCoreplayer and usb storage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AirFiero's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106833 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
