Hows Volumio These Days? (feddit.uk)

I'm running a <cough, cough> years old instance of Volumio 2 on a Raspberry Pi 3

The security of this is terrible, but it sits in my bedroom with a local USB drive full of music and works absolutely fine with a Nanosound DAC audio preamp hat / board which makes it sound lovely... which I don't want to change (it handles a remote control with power on / off)

When Volumio 3 came along, I wasn't impressed, didn't see the software improving much... it was starting to be more of a pull towards their subscriptions

So, I've left it alone and feel like it might be worth a revisit.

So, how's Volumio 4? Or... should I consider another FOSS product ( has to work with the same hardware).

i looked at volumino, lyrion and some others. didn't feel like i was really digging further into open source

i have a similar setup cobbled together with navidrome, mopidy (with subidy, MPD and other extensions) and snapcast running right along side it, allowing me to play two audio streams at once. (one is audio, other is announcement pipeline)

mopidy has a decent amount of dev action. navidrome even more so.

snapcast can sling anything across the network.

tied into home assistant for control and automations

Ah, interesting, so you can use mopidy with HA? Interesting... not thought of that connection.

I have the Volumio integration with HA, but I've not looked at it recently.

Thanks
