Here on Volumio I found quick overview of b vs b+, and it says:
Audio purposes will benefit of that upgrade (unless you’re using a wlan stick, a USB Hard Drive and a USB DAC, but this is the kind of situation I’ll desperatly avoid with the little PI).
But there is no issue whatsoever of handling simultaneously hdd+wifi+usb dac ?
Wifi is optional, I ll wire rpi to router possibly.
Another question: how often would I need to use keyboard? Once I set up the system it can be disconnected and I can forget about rpi hidden behind my tv ?
Received yesterday rpi.
Put volumio (simple!)
Question: was I doing something wrong with it, having laptop connected to wifi and rpi via ethernet- I could not see volumio in laptop browser.
Only after connecting laptop to lan and disabling laptop wifi I could see volumio.
How to do then volumio on wired network and laptop on wireless ?
Just ensure your wired and wireless interfaces are on the same network. Do they use the same router ? If yes you can access the Volumio UI from your laptop via wireless.
