    piCorePlayer.
    It can do server and player simultaneously.
    It won't take you long to get to grips with LMS.

    I have always used volumio since it has 2 spotify plug ins.

    The problem is that one of them, the spotify connect plugin, does not work properly.

    Does any other software support spotify with the custom playlist included? Volumio does not support them any more unless you do some kind of programimg around it (I could not do it).

    Quite like this, and have copied it to a card but when i looked at the how to i decided its too much for me at moment. Might get Gary to have a bash at it if he ever comes over again.
    The kodi one looks ok too but again im not gonna manage that myself.

    Not sure if kodi osmc does but may well do.

    I've just built a fresh image of MoOde 4.2 (1Gb) and thrown it up to my One Drive link here


    https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqntMWSofBSyihQ1m5XpM1b3VOJQ


    Just unzip it and burn to a microSD card using Win32DiskImager.

    That's mighty charitable of you! I might be tempted to give it a whirl.

    Do you have any sense of the SQ difference with the previous Moode build? I've seen it suggested that it isn't quite as good. The new one is missing the advanced kernals, is that right?

    I am very pleased with Volumio Especially, so since I found out (via AoS) that I could access my Tidal account through the £2.99 Bubble PnP app and then play my Tidal files via Volumio.

    Good user interface and excellent SQ IMHO.

    Win disc imager doesn't recognise it as a disc image for some reason

    No it doesn't, my mistake in naming protocol.


    When selecting the file from within Win32D... change the search criteria from Disk Images (*.img *.IMG) to *.*

    Or rename file to something like moode42.img
