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
It won't be painful at all since you've already figured out the hardest part of downloading and burning the app to an SD card. Plug the Pi into your router so you don't have to find the wifi hotspot, then you can configure Volumio to connect to the home wifi itself as it walks you through. It is really the only setup step that is needed to get going, and even that isn't needed if you want to keep it plugged in.

And I'll probably continue with that.I'll probably go with at direct monitor, keyboard, and mouse connections during set up. I hope to use the Volumio Android app afterwards; I have already downloaded that app. I note that is searches for a Volumio server on startup (which it doesn't find a the moment of course). I believe URL 'volumio.local' will bring up Volumio in an web browser.

Volumio is so easy to set up that you won't have any fun.... :-)
If you do plan on using Qobuz or Tidal, be aware that Volumio Charges around $30 a year for that interface. PiCorePlayer is Free.
I'm too cheap.
However I might try piCorePlayer. LMS can operate on the same Pi device or I could install it on my Synology NAS.

If you do try PiCorePlayer, install the LMS Server on the Rpi as well. That is what I do now... there are certain software dependencies on Synology that have gone away already on the last update, or will go away in the short future. I actually think LMS Server runs better on a RPi 4 than it did on my Synology NAS. Quicker.

what a good NAS offers is a huge buffer space so that you are essentially playing from memory - even with high clock 24 bit content. Mine uses 6 GB of its 8 GB of memory for just that.
LMS by itself does not offer such.
