In Reply to: RE: I'm giving in to shaming: will try Raspberry Pi posted by Feanor on April 10, 2021 at 05:10:39
You did not need 8GB of memory or a 128GB card.... 2GB on the Rpi is still overkill and the smallest card will be big enough.. I used to buy 8GB cards, but I think now a 16GB card is the smallest you can get at most places.So, if you've got a small SD card laying around... a 4,8, 16, 32 GB will all work... No need to wait or waste the 128 GB card on an RPi.
Don't look at this project as 'A Pain'. Enjoy it! Learning is fun.

As it is, I've already ordered the stuff. The difference in cost for 8 vs. 2 GB isn't humungous. Likewise I didn't have any microSD's lying around and the cost difference for 128 vs. smaller capacity wasn't a big deal.

When you 'burn' the OS to your SD Card, you will have to use some 'burn' software (Which you may or may not know).... If you don't know this, there is a free program out there called Balena Etcher, which you can download. Very simple to use... I have heard of some people that just try to copy the OS image to a SD Card, which will not work.https://www.balena.io/etcher/

... Which I'll be using.
I believe there is also a Raspberry Pi Imager program but it might only work with Raspberry's own OS.

While inmate Cut-Throat is right about not needing a 128GB microSD card, perhaps you plan to store your music there as well ??If Volumio allows you to use the 'excess' space for music storage you'll be in great shape.
Another option might be to create a small partition for Volumio and a separate large partition for music storage on the 128GB card.
And yet another option (and simplest) would be to get another smaller capacity microSD card for Volumio and use the 128GB microSD with a microSD to USB adapter [link below]. You will then be able to plug the 128GB microSD card into a standard USB port on the Raspberry Pi and use it for music storage.
You do use Etcher to burn the Volumio image onto the microSD card. However, I don't know if Etcher allows you to burn to a separate partition on the microSD card. You might have to try creating the partitions ahead of time..... or try the simple option I mentioned above.
Good luck !
