Given that my exam classes have all left the building and gone on study leave, my evenings are mostly mine again.
Last week, I successfully upgraded MoodeAudio to v4.1 . While this was risk free, (I always keep the working memory card to one side), it was potentially a little more involved process than before since it built itself in situ by dragging the required source code across the net.
Part of the reason for doing this, is to look at getting Spotify to work under MoodeAudio. A quick google suggests that there are a number of competing approaches based around different code bases.
Before starting my attempts, I wondered if anyone on here had made progress in this area or at least had an opinion
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Sean

Sean and any others Yes I posted about this a few days ago. It worketh fine. Are you aware of moodeaudio.org/forum/index.php ? In which you will find moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=14 which I will leave you to fathom like I had to, hint RafaPolit is a man worth following. It works on an rPi with a USB DAC. I keep meaning to try the i2s DAC version I have. Have fun |

Thanks Alan, I will get on this....
Just need to sort out actual paid spotify membership... which is a little tricky since I live in Northern Cyprus (Turkish part), which is often not recognised as a country and so my location, IP address and credit card details are constantly not matching.... However, on the plus side the price for the Turkish subscription is a bargain, if only it let me pay for it
Cheers

Sean I thought I had put you off.
A lot of folks do not like/feel comfortable messing with a linux command line.
Depending on which rPi you have it can take an hour or more to build the image. I left mine overnight to build.
Spotless - I use a Facebook Account and Pay with PayPal as Mike does.
If you don't have distractions you will be running tomorrow.
I use ethernet as I found WhatFi unreliable in earlier versions. It makes sense
Get the latest Raspian to build the image. Note the need for a ssh file in the root of the rPi filesystem otherwise you won't be able to ssh in and run the build script.
Join the Moodeaudio forum for support. Tim is very committed to Moode.
Let us know how you get on. It may encourage others to have a go.

I thought you might have been abducted by aliens so were unable to try the Moode/Spotify experience. Maybe telling porkies and didn’t want to bother.<J>
You don’t have to bother with fuse tweaking. Get it running and enjoy the test tracks.

Alan,
Sorry! I real life got in the way.... end of year, when all my exam classes go on study leave should be really, really easy... then things go pear shaped each year
I should get to it this weekend or the middle of next week since there is a bank holiday thing
Cheers
Sean

Good to know you haven't given up on Moode/Pi. I use my evenings and weekends to play so assume others are the same.
With regard to sound and neighbours I use an IQAudio Pi-DAC+ i2s device which has a headphone socket and sounds quite acceptable using HD600 phones. I also have a headphone amp but found it did not make a HUGE difference so it was used elsewhere.
