DIY Sonos Style AMP! Moode vs Volumio vs Max2Play Part 1 - OscopeWizard Episode 28

We have a working Raspberry Pi and a working TPA3116D2 Audio Amplifier. Now we need to pick the right operating system for our Raspberry Pi. So we are going to compare three: Moode Audio, Volumio, and Max2Play. Let's start out by looking at Volumio. I've used it before with limited success, but it has been a minute since I've seen it. Have you ever setup a Raspberry Pi? Well, you'll also learn how to do that, as a bonus!

We have three goals for our Operating System. It has to support Airplay, Spotify and Bluetooth Audio since I want to play a game called Dropmix. Hopefully one of these OS's will rise to the occasion.

Very helpful, was looking for a good tutorial on making an AirPlay device!

Starting watching and realized this fella is a virologist or infectious disease specialist as well as an electronics guru. Amazing. Where do they find the time. But then I realized it must be pretty old because it seems masks are no longer the big thing. Very 2021 so I'm moving on. I want up to date info about volumio. But if you're looking for vintage covid mitigation strategies....you there.

He was using **PI Zero W** - which is a cheap USD 10 early version Rasberry Pi from 2015. It was even launched without Wifi initially. Honestly, he should have considered to use a RP3+ or 4 for this test. They are 45 USD and much more powerful and relevant :)
