IMHO it is outdated and band-aid crap.
What does Volumio do better? I'm open to changing if there is value in doing so.
Understand that I use iPeng on three iOS devices which allows them to be used as either remote or player to LMS - and they are used regularly in that manner.
Follow Ups:
I have tried Volumio since its initial release date. Its always been super buggy and slow when/if it works.
If everything worked it would be great, but as it stands in a seemingly ALPHA state its un-usable
If everything worked it would be great...
Assuming it worked perfectly, what does it deliver that LMS doesn't? I confess that I'm not much of a visionary in terms of added functionality that I might find useful.
What new tricks does it play?
It offers nothing the LMS does not, in fact it just recently got the ability to stream Spotify...only.
So your choices are your own library, links to internet streams and Spotify.
Thats it
LMS supports Spotify and Tidal even though I'm not a subscriber to either. Aren't those the most prominent choices for renting music?
I am a bit disappointed, however, they dropped XM support since wifey and I use that in our cars.
I stream from my phone in my car with Tunein radio..... Much more choices and Free..... My XM will be dumped when the subscription expires in a couple months.Much Better Fidelity with Tunein Radio than XM... XM is probably the worst.
As far as other Choices for Streaming.. There is Deezer, Tunein Radio, Pandora and probably a lot more that I don't listen to. The point is that if it streams LMS will probably be able to.... Someone has written a Pluggin etc. etc.....

Which is why we have it.
Sure, wifey's Boxster and my Ridgeline both support phone access, but I'd much rather not futz with my phone while driving. :)
I set my phone up before I start driving, and it stays there all day. Do you switch stations a lot on XM?..............I didn't.

I like being able to just get in the car and easily select from a number of favorite stations without having to take my phone/wallet out of my pocket.
I can easily switch between FM/XM/USB flash drive using controls on the steering wheel.
"I can easily switch between FM/XM/USB flash drive using controls on the steering wheel."
I can easily select between FM/AUX port (My Phone)/USB flash drive using the controls on the steering wheel too.
Plus --- I don't have to pay for XM and Plus --- I get any radio station in the world, as well as Spotify, Pandora, Tunein, etc. etc. etc....

My wife enjoys the Broadway and Comedy channels. I typically listen to the 60s,70s,80s and Spa channels.
What radio stations provide that focused ad-free content?
Tunein Radio....

Or whatever else.

Same here, my wife listens to Japanese radio stations in her car. Her phone and car sink up as soon as she gets in and the music starts automatically. Phone just stays in her purse. Calls etc all voice.
LMS still supports more than every other software ie Roon, Volumio, Rune et.al
