Asset UPnP dBpoweramp

[Ray P]

Just had a quick look at the DBpoweramp website and yes, the RPi version of Asset retains the internet radio option via the 'TuneIn' service. Have a look at the Asset configuration page;

Coincidentally, I see the PlugPlayer is their suggested controller app for Apple devices.

Thanks Ray,

I will have a read later.

Here's a photo of a lash-up of the player. Anode chokes on the left.

I haven't posted on this for ages but for those that are interested, I learn't a couple of interesting things about getting better performance:

1. I improved the speed of access and play by over-clocking the RPi. I guess this was fairly obvious, however, worth mentioning.

2. When I initially set up Asset I used a 2TB drive with NTFS format. I later discovered that because this format is not natively recognised in Linux and you have to download and use a driver that this can slow-up the RPi. Using a Linux format should offer an improvement in performance. I therefore formatted a drive using EXT4 and found this worked well. The problem with the EXT4 format is that Windows does not recognise it! Therefore I used the Pi with both the NTFS (backup) drive and the EXT4 drive connected and used Rsynch command to copy everything to the EXT 4 drive.

I am a total novice at this so it took me ages to get this to work, but it was very satisfying when I finally got it all to work.
