      TZUTC: -0700       MSGID: 47566.linux@1:103/705 22198594       PID: Synchronet 3.17c-Win32 Oct 24 2019 MSC 1922       TID: SBBSecho 3.10-Linux r3.143 Oct 21 2019 GCC 6.3.0       COLS: 80       CHRS: ASCII 1       NOTE: FSEditor.js v1.103       So just a general question here...who is using Linux as a "media center" of       sorts? For...well, years now...I have been using Logitech Squeezebox devices       as my main media boxes. The problem with this is the damnable "Logitech Media       Center"...formerly squeezecenter. Logitech no longer supports any of it and I       think maybe only one person in the world is currently maintaining the thing.        It was written in Perl and every time the OS updates perl...it breaks (don't       ask me my opinions on perl).              So I have had enough...my Squeeze Boom boxes' displays have all failed due to       the sub-standard components they used. And now I can't even get the LMS to       work anymore. I'm done...and I'm moving to MPD.              I've been playing around with Rune Audio, and Arch Linux based MPD distro that       runs on RPi devices...I like it. But it's missing things like an alarm clock       (I've had my Squeeze Boom on my bedside table for over a decade now).              Does anyone have any other suggestions? MPD seems like the way to go. Kodi       doesn't quite cut the mustard as an audio player...Rune Audio/MPD is designed       to be headless.              The AHK Gang! Live on Riot.im.
