I've just installed picoreplayer on a pi zero w to work with my original squeezebox. I just threw a few albums onto an old 8gb usb stick to test it out and it connects up fine. I'd forgotten just how lovely the Squeezebox is actually!
I have a couple of questions though. The performance is a little slow when accessing a new album, but there after the album is selected quite quickly. Does this indicate that a newer, bigger usb stick would be faster? Or is the relative performance of the Zero itself more likely to be to blame? On that performance note, would a full fat pi like a 3 or 4 be a better way to go with using picoreplayer and avoid stutter? Perhaps paired with a SSD? Lastly, I've looked up Spotify support, yet I'm not sure if it's still supported now? I don't have a paid Spotify sub so I'd just like to access their free service, with audio ads. Is this possible? Any advice greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gizmo1990's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68249 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111691 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
