I am working on a new PiFi

 I don't know what sort of functionality you're looking for but I use
Minimserver running on a synology NAS coupled with a number of Pis

Oh. I rolled my own. It worked OK till the URLs changed.
So its a revamp
Pi ZERO [2]Ws and hifiberry audio DACS. Feeding thwacking great stiudio amps and nice speakers.
Gets audio either from a ripped CD library or internet radio.
Web interface.
I didn't know about mpd, and that has enabled a huge improvement in radio station access so I will rewrite the web interface. and version 2.0 will be available in the new years...:-)
The backend daemon works fine, its the UI that was shit and the ability to access radio stations.

MediaPlayer with mpd
https://github.com/PeteManchester/MediaPlayer/blob/master/com.upnp.mediaplayer/download/beta/mediaplayer.zip
 or
 https://ropieee.org/
 Both are controlled by control points on Phone/Tablets. Both support
both UPnP AND for me very importantly Open Home.
 

Media Player instructions are out of date but ask and you shall
receive later notes. It functions very well.
 RoPieee is plug and play. So easy to set up but you're locked out.
It's free and 15 minutes to put together.  The only functional snag
is that the volume insists on being 100% at startup.
 All the 320K BBC streams work fine and a host of others.
 Have you got these...

Have now, thanks.

It amazes me that anyone goes near the BBC and haven't learnt what it
is yet.
 

Radio 4 extra has old plays and audio books. Radio 5 live has cricket.
Some of Radio 3 is worth listening to, and or the world service.
You cant do much propaganda with that. Although the wokesters did attack the cricket chaps.

Bob.
