I'm running a <cough, cough> years old instance of Volumio 2 on a Raspberry Pi 3

The security of this is terrible, but it sits in my bedroom with a local USB drive full of music and works absolutely fine with a Nanosound DAC audio preamp hat / board which makes it sound lovely... which I don't want to change (it handles a remote control with power on / off)

When Volumio 3 came along, I wasn't impressed, didn't see the software improving much... it was starting to be more of a pull towards their subscriptions

So, I've left it alone and feel like it might be worth a revisit.

So, how's Volumio 4? Or... should I consider another FOSS product ( has to work with the same hardware).

I'm very interested as well. It's been almost a decade since I ran Volumio. ๐Ÿ‘ด
