I'm using Volumio at the moment with my new RPi5, it's a wonderful replacement for my old CXN V2.
The other OSes must further refine their compatibility with this new RPi, I would like to do tests later to see what the other distributions are worth.
Volumio is good but not bug-free, and I'm a little disappointed by the type of readings offered. 5.85 € monthly for a single RPi is a lot to pay.
When you think that there are guys like Plex who offer much more for less... 4.99€ monthly, 39€ annually, 110€ for ever.
I need to do some testing to see if there are better options elsewhere...
Well you could always role you own. It's not that hard:
- RPiOS lite (or Desktop with auto login to the desktop disabled)
- MPD for local playback or shairportsync (or whatever it has been forked/renamed as) for multiroom synced audio
- Your choice of MPD client running or your choice of device for control.
- miniDLNA for smart devices
- Samba if you want file access to down/up load files.
