    Some of the improvements look superfluous with respect to audio streaming.

    Ah ok, cheers. Will keep an eye out when the whole shebang is ready to go.

    Which version of Moode are you using now, Dunc, or are you onto something else now? I suspect the version I've got, which you installed ages ago, needs updating

    I've always kept up with the latest versions of moOde but prefer Osmc on my main system.
    Osmc now supports most Pi dacs and digi hats with Kodi giving me passthrough modes for my 5.1 stuff.

    I hate using a phone/tablet/computer to access and select music so now just use my tv remote.

    Simply turn the tv on and select an album, doesn't get easier than that.
    Also anyone else can access the music/films and any online content they require.

    In the kitchen I still run MoOde v4.0 on a Pi3 wireless.

    Interesting, Dunc! I totally see where you're coming from and can appreciate the potential benefits of what you've done

    I guess it depends on your lifestyle and how you use your devices at home. I'm always on my laptop (posting here, etc), and so it feels more intuitive for me that way accessing my digital music library, via the RPi, than using a remote control.

    When the new Pi3 b+ comes out and is ready to use, in terms of software, swing by on your bike and we'll do the whole shebang, along with installing the latest version of Moode

    Interesting. It's a pity they didn't throw in a bit more RAM too.

    btw. I setup both Moode and Volumio recently and can't decide which way I want to go. Currently running Volumio. I read a rumour that Moode hasn't had any updates for a while. Certainly Volumio just had an update, so it is still being worked on.

    MoOde had an update to V4.0 last month and is due a bump to 4.1 soon.

    Tim does a great job.

    Good to hear. Unfortunately, mine says it is up to date still. I guess that means it won't update from 4.0 beta12 to 4.0 release ? Pity if I have to go through the whole mess of generating a new image again.

    Meanwhile an new Volumio update arrived today.
