I'm running a <cough, cough> years old instance of Volumio 2 on a Raspberry Pi 3

The security of this is terrible, but it sits in my bedroom with a local USB drive full of music and works absolutely fine with a Nanosound DAC audio preamp hat / board which makes it sound lovely... which I don't want to change (it handles a remote control with power on / off)

When Volumio 3 came along, I wasn't impressed, didn't see the software improving much... it was starting to be more of a pull towards their subscriptions

So, I've left it alone and feel like it might be worth a revisit.

So, how's Volumio 4? Or... should I consider another FOSS product ( has to work with the same hardware).

I don't remember why but years ago I opted for Moode over Volumino. Just upgraded from a pi2 running Moode 8 to a pi3 on Moode 10. At some point they upgraded to a 64bit base os forcing my hardware update.

Local library from a Nas, Streaming sources , mpd controls , connects with many platforms, started using it with Home Assistant music server last summer running my outdoor speakers.

Ok, not heard of Moode. The website looks interesting, I'll check it out, thanks!
