Maybe… But why not going with latest stable mpd release…
Indeed, I personally feel it’s a bit more nuanced.
Packaging such things is one of those annoying tasks that is a chore, and can at times be fiddly with all the dependencies – but there are people who specifically do this - package maintainers. For some it’s even a full time job!
On the other hand, you have to remember that Volumio's (at least right now) has essentially only a few full time developers/maintainers, with a few more evening/weekend volunteers/contributors.
For this small team, you have a large task list of software that need maintaining:
– multiple architectures/devices (x86, tinkerboard, pi, Volumio hardware)
– multiple OS versions (“stable” Jessie + “beta” buster)
– Volumio-backend
– multiple Volumio-UI interfaces (Classic, Contemporary, Premium)
– and all the myVolumio cloud wizardry
– pluginstore
When you decide to take on package bundling and maintenance as well – you probably end up in a situation where you do it once, and then just “live with it”.
Case in point - I was just looking at when this entire Jessit → Stretch → Buster journey began.
Building for Debian buster (10) · Issue #388 · volumio/Build · GitHub
We are now 2+ years (and a lot of shinny new features) down the line, but still discussing/debugging release bugs, pointing out that it possibly comes from this outdated bundled MPD.
In the end I fear we (plausibility) spend more time chasing quirks and implementing workarounds in the core software for bugs that werecould be fixed upstream.
In the end, there is always a balance to be found between stability, maintainability and features/performance. And again please remember this a small team, of few full time developers/maintainers with some help from volunteers.

Of course, can’t really complain.
Ah, sorry if it came across that way didn’t mean to imply you were 
I was just using your comment as an opportunity to push my (not-so-secret) agenda of secure, stable software 
Now that I know what to test: verified 3.077 and no, it did not work there either. Sorry for the noise.
In the play queue, using RadioParadise plugin, the name of the radio does not appear, the theme, album and artist appear.
It seems to me that it would be more useful if it only shows the name of the station.
Hi there,
3.152 works fine here (X86) for at least
Uptime: 1 days, 20 Hrs, 17 Minutes, 59 Seconds
I often switch between webradio, local lib, tidal (Volumio UI as well as Tidal Connect)
Everything’s working fine and stable here.
Cheers,
Robert

a minor detail I saw: during tidal connect playback of a tidal favourite track the “favourite heart” symbol is shown in the tidal app but not in the volumio web UI
Cheers,

Just got a message saying Manifest UI was for MyVolumio Premium members… Vas ist das?
3.152 is working brilliantly, Rpi4B 8GB running off TrueNAS set to play constantly on random over 18,000 tracks through a Samba share. When I buy two new 8TB drives I’ll try to run it off NFS.
Hi There,
one massive problem also occors here. If I’m trying an AAC webradio an error “unable to decode…” pops up and after that for about 30 seconds no other playback is possible. Even the local lib is absent. After about 30 seconds the local lib is there again. Some MP3 webradios do works fine but not all of them. Some end up in the same fault.
Cheers,
Robert

I respond to myself as no one took care of the matter.
After a lot of test: change from wireless to wired, upgrade the version, re login into Qobuz, reboot several times; check the log, clenaup play cue ansd so on, I tried to set the custom DNS in network settings and started to work (always in the last 24 hours)
Today is my last day on Virtuoso trial period; without this “auto” tips I was intent on giving up on Volumio…
Now I can get the best sound from volumio and my Hifi amplifier and speakers.
Hope this should help somebody else.
@ASBL glad you figured it out.
Hi,
V 3.156. Rpi4
Plugin 80s80s.
What is displayed on my dsi display is completely out of synch with song being geared on speakers. Listened for almost 2h.
http://logs.volumio.org/volumiobuster/NeWkCp3.html
ON display is SHOWN THE SONG with a delay of MINUS 3 songs…
Thanks
Lintbf in 3.152 - Plugin 80s80s - 80ies italo disco is out of sync
time doesn’t match song and the wrong info on pc and pi
I know
But it will be fix?
As much as I like many things about the new Volumio, Airplay doesn’t work for me. After selecting Volumio it just keeps spinning but never connects. There are no logs.
Airplay works fine with the current 2.9x version.
Anyone else having similar issues? Or did I miss setting up something?
I have Airplay working on both Pi4 and Pi0 2 with Volumio 3.152.
Pi0 2 here too — running on a battery pack, audioquest dragon fly red (1.0) plugged in. Happy camper, especially with the DSP enabled!
Airplay is slightly out of sync, about 500ms. Could be wifi latency, could be the youtube app, could be my ipad. No dealbreaker for me, but there might be some.

hello! The Dsp introduce a latency… It requires time to compute, even for graphic or parametric eq. Convolution filter latency depend on length and frequency…and airplay…
Hi I am new here, interested in the Volumio3 version because of the multi room function. I have 4 zones with passive loudspeakers and 1 surround zone. I will replace the surround zone with a Spotify Connect version. The other 4 zones I would like a RP4 with the HiFiBerry amp (class D 60W). Sources Internet Radio, Spotify and local music on a QNAP NAS.
It is used for casual music play all day.
I now used Roon very good for local music and internet radio. No multiroom Spotify.
Will the version 3 will be my solution?
I would prefer Apple Music but no AirPlay2 yet? I guess?
