“Found that moode fits my needs better (e.g. free Bluetooth audio, more options for individual configuration)”

“I did not use Volumio anymore because Moode, on my setup, it is work and sound better. And it is free... Probably I will try it again, one day.”

“Volumio is a great music player with broad support for audio formats, and I’ve been using it for many years now. My setups are mostly Raspberry Pi–based with various DAC boards, and I even repurposed an old Sony ES tuner into a dedicated Volumio player, complete with balanced outputs feeding my amplifier. That flexibility is one of Volumio’s biggest strengths. Recently, I upgraded to the Premium tier to try out the multi-device grouping functionality. While it’s a nice feature and works reasonably well, I don’t feel it fully justifies the additional cost. In my case, I mainly used it to compare audio quality across different Raspberry Pi and DAC combinations. One feature I really miss is native playback support for SACD ISO images. This is how I prefer to archive my SACDs, but currently I have to extract them into individual tracks, effectively doubling the storage space required. When I reorganize folders in my music library, playlists that reference moved tracks need to be repaired. I currently rely on a custom script to detect broken entries and then manually correct the file paths. Playlist management is another weak point. Within Volumio, playlists can only be appended to — there’s no proper way to edit or reorganize them. As a result, I have to modify playlist files manually using a JSON editor. While that’s manageable, enabling Premium introduces playlist synchronization across devices, which tends to interfere with these manual edits and causes inconsistencies. Overall, Volumio is a powerful and flexible music player, especially for DIY and Raspberry Pi–based setups, but more advanced library and playlist management — along with SACD ISO support — would significantly improve the experience, particularly for long-time and power users.”

“Hi, Used for half a year. Unfortunately, a Lineo5 trafo was humming quite noticeably, which is annoying in a very quiet room. HDMI connection to Denafreeps Pontus 15th over 0,5m cable was losing sync from time to time. USB worked fine. Did not really enjoy the ... uncertainty what is going on when the Volumio was booting. Finally decided to SIDE-GRADE to Eversolo T8. Mainly for an optical SFP port, user friendliness, fantastic app and clear display + room correction. A new owner is enjoying my Volumio now :-).Andy”

“Versions from 3.77 and up won't run for me, as it says I can access volumio by http://127.0.0.1 or volumio.local, but I can't . The ip address is not on my local network, the other option does not work. I had to go back to a version from 2020 so I could get volumio running fine”

“I wish I could give Volumio and Primo a higher rating but in all honesty I cannot. I signed up for a free 60 minute help session with Davide and indeed he was very helpful and got me back working after almost a year of on and off results. Unfortunately, the next day I was back to first base except that now I had the latest software and that was a huge difference. Now, when I say I am back to base one it’s because every evening I have to follow a really annoying process and I have to initiate the Primo each time I am going to use it. Perhaps other people do this and don’t think of it twice but I am used to just picking up my iPad on my main system and immediately accessing Roon through my Innous streamer and on my second system the same through my Bluesound Node2i. So having to unplug the Primo and then reboot my iPad and sign back into either Tidal or Qobuz each night so that I can listen to headphones through my Burson headphone amp and DAC is in my honest opinion a pain in the … I could have just hardwired my iPad to my Burson DAC via usb and had avoided the expense and the outgoing headaches. Finally, I have found that I have to run the Volumio with a wired connection to my network. My other two streamers run via Wi-Fi. Sound is good when it’s working.”

“Too expensive and no option to buy the software voor about 200 dollar. I hate to pay gor software each month so i would love to see the option of buying a lifetime licence. App keeps crashing on my phone but once it is streaming, is sounds great. Other than that? It’s looking nice and works nicely”

“It's on it's way to being something great but it feels extraordinarily un-polished. It looks polished. But it's just not there. All too often things will silently fail. I have to reboot it at least once a day for seemingly odd reasons. If I'm playing music from an album and then attempt to play a playlist it will simply not do anything. Something fails behind the scenes but there's no message of any kind. Then, nothing will play until rebooting. Another nice feature is that 60-70% of the time I try to use a premium feature, like expand the album story, it will inform me that I need to be a Volumio Premium subscriber. I am. It's logged in. It says I'm a premium user right next to the message saying I need to be a premium user. I should be able to sort things. You can't sort anything. When listing albums it does so alphabetically but it doesn't disregard folder hierarchy first. What does this mean? If you have nested directories, or a collection of directories that make up your library, it will sort by the directory first and then contents of the directories second. This would be fine if I was simply looking at the file system, but I'm not. I have no visibility into that when I'm simply trying to list all albums in my library. But because of this oddity and the inability to sort any data in any meaningful (or non-meaningful way) I'm subject to whatever sorting rules Volumio built in and I can't do anything to change the sort order of anything being displayed. You take it how they give it. So, as a premium subscriber (despite the software not believing me), I would say don't bother becoming a premium subscriber until they make this software feel like it's at least at a beta level. Most plugins are non-starters in version 3. You can't do Pandora. And all this really does is provide an interface to a sound card or USB device so it's not like there's magic under the hood that makes the sound better. With that said, it does sound good but only because I'm pumping it into thousands of dollars worth of equipment. It beats the balls off of bluetooth audio, but that's nothing Volumio is doing. Will I cancel my premium subscription? No. But I have low self-esteem. Am I being overly harsh about the software? Probably. But I've been a software engineer for over 20 years and I would not ship this product with my name on it. But really, this thing has loads of potential if it could get out of its own way.”

“I was using squeezbox for a long time and as streaming of Spotify or Tidal is not working well with Squeezebox I decided to establish a Volumio setup. First I built a volumio setup with a raspi and a hifiberry digi+. The sound was pretty good and usability was also very good. But I was facing some problems with stability. Every now and then I had drop outs and sometimes it stopped without a visible reason. I had to restart the session. Every now and then it doesn't respond any more. I had to unplug power supply to reboot the whole thing. Thought it was a raspi problem therefore I decided to buy the Primo. But the problems are still there. I run Volumio for more than one year, but now I'm testing the roon setup. After 3 days I am really enthusistic with it. Concept and usability is much better and by now I didn't face any stability problems.”
