Its really very easy to use, I download the img file, flashed the card, and the config is done via a web interface.

The biggest issue I had was with my samba mount on my freenas.

Simply put the 2 versions of samba wasn’t talking the same language, the fix was really easy once I found out about it.

Still testing this img at the moment, if it keeps up like this I will be ditching rune audio in favour of this.

After a bit of fiddling around with the settings I have now signed up to dirble, this gives me loads of netradio stations, including my favourite

The stream watchdog is a nice function, if the stream drops for whatever reason the watchdog starts it again.

Browsing the internet stations is a tad slow, but more than usable, it does take a bit of time between hitting the stream you wish to play and it actually playing it. Roughly 30 seconds or so.

Spotify is no longer dropping out when I load the app on my phone to change the track now playing.

So far I would rate this player a solid 9/10.
