Volumio 2

[spm]

I downloaded the latest version of Volumio yesterday evening having decided to try the pi for streaming as the other streaming gadgets I have tried wouldn't give me gapless playback so had been using a laptop. It was a bit fussy with picking up external drives, I had to rescan a few times. Also when it found my qnap NAS it woudn't mount for a couple of goes so I rebooted the pi and then it mounted fine. Took maybe 45 mins to index 1000 or so albums at over 1000 hours music. So far so good. Only picked Volumio as I found a good idiot's guide which I needed. I have everything wired through homeplugs so not relying on wireless, except for my phone to control it.

Although ive got volumios latest on a card ive yet to try it. The beta, that i was unaware was a beta, was hopeless. Let us know how it goes Sean. I might give it another whirl. Happy enough with moode 2.7 though.

Volumio 2.030 just released.

First version of Volumio 2 for me where everything is working as it should.

Thanks Michel Angelo.

Tried the latest version last night. Purely for the Spotify plugin but scanning, updating and then rescanning the NAS was missing a lot of albums, about 40 % of the music.
Back to MoOde and don't think i'll be changing again.


Cheers,

Been doing some more tests of Volumio 2 recently. I am coming to the conclusion that it sounds a little muffled in absolute terms. Switching over to Rune 0.4 Beta give a much more open, clear and dynamic presentation.

Indeed, I found it a bit iffy and sound was nothing to get excited about. think Moode 3.1 is better sounding and much more stable/easy to use.
