RE: RPi option with a screen

Posted by mlsstl on August 30, 2020 at 18:30:21:
I just wanted the thread to show the bigger range of options available with the RPi.

To be honest, I don't use the touch screen on mine much in terms of controlling the music -- I have a Kindle Fire that I use as my primary method to select and play music. However, I do like the way the RPi with the screen displays the album info (or its VU meters, depending on my mood) when playing. And, as a bonus, it has a great clock feature that can display when the system is off.

Frankly, I find the display capabilities of even a lot of expensive streamers to often be embarrassingly poor.
