“Works well enough, but Qobuz integration relies on the local wifi network and caps playback to 44K 16bit, not what I want when I'm paying for a Hi-Res. service like Qobuz. Using a Allo Digi USBridge with Volumio (v2.853)”

“Unfortunately a lot of breaking changes as a result of the update from version 2 to 3. - No audio-output on HDMI on my RPi3a; - Most of the plugins don't work anymore (GPIO-buttons, Backup, ..); - Mandatory account to install plugins.”

“Not stable on IOS. Freezes and requires to quit and start again.”

“Happy - unhappy would be better! For a few years using volumio with many tears in my eyes. Sometimes happy, sometimes angry about the OS. Using it since version 2.1...something on Pi3B+ with IQAudio PiDigi+ had to worry about many issues. When there was no Spotify Connect had to use the LMS plugin. Installing this destroys the installation! So only internetradio or music from a NAS could be played! F... that. When Spotify connect comes out all worked fine. A few times... Then an update to the newest version of volumio ends in a new intallation! This happend more than 3 times! Time to quit... no, using Moode or Ropieee to see what's going on there. Worked better but sound's ok... Volumio sounds better! Now, with volumio3 the IQAudio-HAT is no longer supported! Settings for a similar HifiBerry-HAT worked but didn't sound right... Maybe volumio gets a comback on the PI when this issue is history.”

“I looked into volumio. It sounded perfect for streaming Tidal in two locations in my house. I built two raspberry pi streamers with DACs. I didn't mind the subscription if the system worked well. But Tidal integration was poor (even volumio agree) it hangs up, sometimes works sometimes doesn't. I wouldn't mind if it was a one off cost, but subscription is too much for an experimental product. A superb idea, and when integration is fixed I will re join.”

“I looked at Volumio on a 4GB Raspberry without a DAC attachment. I connected Volumio to my Denon AVR via HDMI and was able to play my music from the NAS just fine. What many don't know, almost all AVRs basically process all input signals digitally with their own built in DAC because of room adjustment and loudness, etc. An external DAC only makes sense if the analog input is "looped through" from the receiver. I then got the Volumio test account to try out Tidal Connect - that also worked - but that's not how I wanted to control and manage my local and streamed music - I want to have all my music in one application - unfortunately Volumio can't do that. I then got the solution from the company Teufel with the app Raumfeld to try out. This solution can do everything I was looking for. Just great - that's exactly what I would have expected from Volumio. I have therefore terminated my subscription with Volumio - I think Volumio still has a long way to go - good luck.”

“Per ora tre stelle lo sto confrontando con Daphile che offre molte più funzionalità a costo zero.”

“I'm trying to run Volumio 3 on a Raspberry Pi 4 with HiFiBerry DAC2 Pro and Usparkle 15.6" touchscreen, with the analog audio output going to an inexpensive 300W stereo amp. I'm building all this to put in an old radio cabinet to make a kind of modern juke box. The DAC2 Pro is not selectable in the Volumio options, but the DAC+ Pro setting seems to work well. The sound is kind of thin, and lacking an integrated software equalizer of any sort in Volumio doesn't help. I had to add an outboard car equalizer to make it listenable. It sounds good now. Volumio doesn't work with my existing '.M3U' playlists, so I've had to figure out how to port them over to the format that Volumio uses. I'm able to listen my library of 10,000+ songs ripped from CDs and vinyl all loaded on a NAS. Volumio shuffles them well. Improvements I'd like to see in Volumio are the ability to sort the music library by Year, the addition of the aforementioned equalizer, and the ability to calibrate the touchscreen, though, I realize that isn't really Volumio's problem.”

“I'm a hobbyst and I use the free version of Volumio. Tried it several times in Raspberry PI during the years. It's a nice interface. I understand the intention of the latest versions to introduce a paid tier, but it's a cost I cannot afford (specially if it's ongoing). So I've stuck to the older versions, but they don't seem to work well with Spotify. So for now I've decided to stick to piCorePlayer and LMS as server (I've got a Squeezebox too). But for anyone ready to pay the price the new Volumio is a very good option.”

“Volumio works well for what it does, but I do not support the subscription model for paid features. I only want Tidal connect however am not willing to pay monthly for its convenience. Desperately need a one time purchase option for the “advanced plugin”.”

Helpful Report

“Volumio is interesting and nice for nerds/geeks but it has unfortunately many bugs or situations where it does not work as expected. E.g.: Even I installed the touchscreen plugin, it does not appear. It just shows the normal "browser"- view. Playing songs from Spotify often just lags/hangs up. The documentation is often from version 2, although version 3 is live since years.”

“Using the free version on raspberry pi 4 and is all sounding fine. Hate the fact I can’t sort tracks by number without adding them to a playlist and the GUI in the app is nothing short of terrible. Don’t know if any of this is better with the paid version, but, as I don’t use streaming services, I can’t see anything in terms of additional features that would make me want to upgrade. Thinking of switching back to Audirvana, if only for the correct track order, which would be a shame, as I wanted to love Volumio!”

“I am happy about my nanosound one with dvd plugin using volumino 2.x. Purchasing a lifitime license is ok for me. Monthly or yearly subscibtion is not my way to support you.”

“Volumio has suited our company well, setup was easy enough. Streams are sometimes inconsistent and need to be restarted but I imagine that's due to the provider and not the system. The autostart plugin was a nice touch in v1 & v2 but now that it's locked behind a paid wall it creates more administration work for us.”

“It is a really great os. But time to time its stocks and needs few restart to work normal again. (RPI 4 4GB)”

“great interface, nice integration with the cell phone app, the visuals are spot on. unfortunately high priced plan with the pay for if I only want Tidal on my audio player.”

“I can't give volumio five stars. It is a great sounding music player but it can't play all music files as advertized. I have lots of sacd iso files but its so sad that volumio cant play them. And one more thing, it doesn't support replay gain, it does have volume normalization but its not effective. It affects the sound quality so please do include replay gain option. The subscription cost for me is a bit expensive so please do include these options in the following updates.”

“I have issues running the last version on a Raspberry Pi 2 with a Wi-Fi dongle. The Wi-Fi dongle turns off after some time. I didn’t have any problems with the previous versions.”

“Ich nutze Volumio mit einer allo usbridge signature und dig one signature. Klanglich bin ich voll überzeugt, Equalizer etc. ist nicht nötig, das steuere ich mit der folgenden hardware. Die Einrichtung ist schlecht dokumentiert, insbesonders die Einbindung meines NAS. Als entweder besser beschreiben, oder automatisieren. Gerne bin ich bereit, für Software zu bezahlen. 60 Euro / Jahr im Abo erscheint mir aber erheblich zu teuer.”
