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.

It's difficult to choose between moode and volumio, I have used both over the last couple of months, I am currently running moode 4.0. I love the main Ui and options available in moode but much prefer the library setup in volumio. I think a combination of the two would suit me.

Moode has been great for me, but I was upset to see that it had moved to some kind of complicated self-build update process that requires computing nous above my meagre abilities! Is this still the case?
Happy with the version I'm using, but it is tempting to give Volumio a try to satisfy the upgraditis

Volumio has the edge over Moode for me.
