Volumio Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Camper Touchscreen Audio Setup

  Have a look at the Balena Sound project on Github here and other possible options would be Volumino or RuneAudio - they are not up to professional multi-room sound systems but may give you some of the functionality you want. Source: about 1 year ago

• Very unhappy with Roon. Need another solution.

  Perhaps try Volumio - they have their own products, but if you own a DAC and have a Raspberry Pi you can build your own. Controllable from their app too. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any music servers (like Navidrome) that can ALSO pull from Spotify?

  Volumio? Spotify support, playback of local files, and a web client. I stopped using in in the end because the queuing of the songs was buggy, but if you‘re an album-at-once type of person, this might be a good fit! Source: over 1 year ago

• Best option for wirelessly powering wired ceiling speakers?

  If you want to save some money and like tinkering, you can look at open source alternatives that run on hardware like RPI, here's an example of one - https://volumio.com/en/. Source: over 1 year ago

• MiniPC for music streaming with TEAC UD-505 DAC

  Take a look at Volumio for the Raspberry Pi: https://volumio.com/en/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Sonos CEO Patrick Spence Sounds Off About Big Tech Behaving Badly

  I use https://volumio.com/en/ on a cheap Raspberry PI and DAC with an old, but good, amp. The free version is good enough for me . Source: almost 2 years ago

• Bang and Olufsen Beoplay A8, found for $7.99 at Goodwill. It works!

  It's not hard at all. Getting started with Volumio and a Raspberry Pi should take about 10 minutes. See the guides on https://volumio.com/en/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Play on one device, control on another

  Https://volumio.com/en/ on a pi with a DAC and your set. Sadly it's 3.00 a month for the subscription to do it. Source: about 2 years ago

• Need a media player that can play audio via remote control and operate/set up without a monitor attached? Any advice welcome!!

  What sort of device do you have in mind to play this? You mentioned an iPod, but would you consider a Raspberry Pi? There's a lot of MPD (Music Player Daemon) based systems that run on a RasPi that might fit your needs such as RuneAudio (which, admittedly hasn't been updated in ages) and Volumio (which seems to be more actively updated).

• Plexamp v4.0.1 Released

  Same TBH. Volumio is OK, but a native Plex music streaming client that can sit unobtrusively behind my hifi will be *chef kiss*. Source: about 2 years ago

• Where is your headphone setup? Desk, couch, bedside?

  I'm wondering if I would be better off sonically by separating my PC as my music source using a dedicated device something like a Pi4 or Usbridge Sig with something like Roopiee or Volumio though. Source: about 2 years ago

• Streamer or DAC with Cyrus One + Monitor Audio Silver 200?..

  You can also go the open route.. But a RaspberryPi and a HiFi Berry, install volumio and you’re done for under $100. Takes some tinkering skills. Source: about 2 years ago

• Cerwin Vega Reciver/Setup Advice

  Streaming support: It’s Roon Ready and runs Volumio so you can stream Spotify, TIDAL, AirPlay, etc to it directly. Source: about 2 years ago

• Anyone store music on their unRAID server to stream to a raspberry pi attached to a stereo amp?

  Perhaps Balena sound: https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/more/examples/projects/ or Volumio: https://volumio.com/en/. Source: about 2 years ago

• Offline music streaming, which model

  I'm currently using https://volumio.com/en/ on a pi 3 connected to some speakers. It has an app and web app to choose music from Spotify or media server. Source: about 2 years ago

• A Digital music stereo component?

  You could do this with an all-in-one device cheaply with something like https://volumio.com/en/ on a raspberry pi (with a USB hard drive). Source: over 2 years ago

• Is there any music streaming software with integrations (Spotify, Bandcamp, Youtube music) + playing from local?

  The front page of the volumino website says you can stream on Spotify through it and specifically names Spotify https://volumio.com/en/. Source: over 2 years ago

• airsonic-advance and Volusonic

  Volusonic is a plugin for Volumio, which is a hifi streamer that feeds into my DAC and headphone amp. It can read the files direct from the disk but it's library management is less than average. https://volumio.com/en/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Looking out for a Low budget Streaming Solution, maybe RPI?

  Here is some good software to go along with the raspberry pi: https://volumio.com/en/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Alexa skill for smarthome/nodered applestrudel

  My use case is specific to a music player (in my case https://volumio.com/en/) this player can be controlled by websocket and thus nodered. Source: over 2 years ago

• Music Streaming Devices?

  You can find some ways to kind of hack something together. It's not as convenient as a ready-made consumer product, but you can get a Raspberry Pi and install something like Volumio on it. (I haven't personally used Volumio, so that's just an example more than a recommendation, although it's probably good.). Source: over 2 years ago
