i’ve been jogging volumio on my antique pi 3 and virtually revel in it. i specifically use it as an offline hifi streamer out at my trailer wherein net and cell smartphone get admission to is restrained. i just let it run its very own hotspot, connect and throw on a playlist.

made some changes to it now it’s working great. i like to see a version that uses all of the power of the pi 4
and that it works on a ssd instead of a sd this is still my bottleneck where living in the past with volumio…
