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
I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to set up the RPi 4 as a music streamer. You don't have to know Linux. You just need basic computer knowledge and be able to follow instructions. There's lots of excellent help available here and in various other forums.
I used an Intel NUC running Win 10 for years. I recently replaced that with an RPi 4 with Moode. Following a couple of hours listening I knew there was no way I was going back to Windows. It's a whole new world for me and I love it. Have fun.
Follow Ups:
The 'NUC' route still seems very valid to me, and indeed, there are less expensive mini-computers the typical NUC. I have couple and they work great while retaining the ability to run most of the vast suite of Windows software. Furthermore they aren't outlandishly more expense that taking the RPi path.
In my case I already have Windows machines dedicate to audio and HT: they work fine for me. I'm trying the RPi because the cost is low enough that develop my own conclusions, in particular whether it does provide its touted superiority of Win computer for what I want to do.
