![]() ![]() The biggest wastage of CPU usage the distributions do is when you play a song using their interface. The value add these distributions do is hide linux from the end user by giving a web interface for the user to play and manage songs/albums using a local library or a service like tidal, qobuz.Īll these distributions can do is make the sound worse IMHO by consuming more cpu than an installation where the user installs the RPI OS from the raspberry pi foundation and installs mpd, shairport-sync, librespotify using apt-get. ![]() The real work is done by mpd, shairport-sync, librespotify or the squeezelite player. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any difference between volumio, moode, dietpi or other mpd based distributions because none of these distributions produce sound. If you don't like their interface you can use any of the clients listed in the link belowĬlick to expand.Everyone hears things differently because what we hear is the ear + brain. You will be better off using moode, picore or other distributions. So some of the crippling of mpd has been done out of commercial interest or something else. The only app that will display all 10 songs is volumio's own web/android/ios app which is a paid app. So if you use any mpd remote or player, it will show only one song. When you add songs to it to play, let say an entire album of 10 songs, it removes 9 songs and adds just the song currently playing. What volumio does is that it has it's own web interface. So if you install mpd without any changes you will be able to use any client. So there are multiple clients written by different people for mac, ios, linux, windows, android, etc. So any client can connect to mpd on port 6600 and issue commands like play, pause, stop, add songs to list, remove songs from list, query what song is playing and is at which position, etc. It doesn't do any album/media management. Unlike other players, mpd is a pure audio player. The sticker support has been removed while compiling.
