“Hi, This is just to let you know that your MyVolumio lifetime subscription has been terminated... ...received this email recently.. why? i do not know. lifetime is lifetime, isn't it? is my life ending? who actually sent this to me? volumio primo.. i never in my life spent so much time with my hifi hardware... i never in my life had to call support for my hifi... until volumio... david was nice, fixed the thing in ten minutes or so with my help, teamviewer, ssh and something else i can't remember,...i'm volumio primo HIFI user.. so 650 euro.. might work for some, not for me...”

“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.”

“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”.”

“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)”
