    Only drawbacks I see with moode 4.2 is you can't add radio stations from the main menu, you need to ssh them.

    Spotify connect needs to be done via ssh too. Ok I know how to do that but having just tried Volumio 2 last week for the first time in ages, it is so much easier to set it all up.

    Once the image is installed onto the microsd card it took minutes to setup my Allo Boss DAC, my NAS drive, Spotify Connect, Radio Stations etc.

    If want simplicity then Volumio is pretty easy to setup these days as it works via a step by step wizard

    Mind you the MoOde playback screen is nice

    Got moode going. Didn't get any nice pics tho. Sounds good but UI isn't good for a beginner. lol
    Not spent a lot of time on it tho yet.
    Yup I think volumio is decent. Don't like the way it handles art tho in the lists

    Yeah it's a bit tricky to setup for beginners at you say. Previous experience helped.

    I'm going to put Volumio back on as it's handy for my Spotify and radio stations.

    Mind you the Pi is only on temporary duties whilst both my Dacs are out on loan

    If you click on a station it brings up a menu with a 'create new station' option.
    Spotify Connect is easy to install (via ssh, as you mention) and in my experience it works more reliably than in Volumio.

    Ah, cool I did read that option was available but I didn't realise it was on the radio icon itself lol

    I cannot use spotify connect of volumio. It keeps disapearing from the device list and does not connect.

    If you go to the queue menu check to see if you have the random shuffle option activated. The crossed lines in the top right menu.
