Moode has much better sound quality.
I will definitely test Mood. Unfortunately I had problems writing the image to an SD. I wanted to test it on a Raspi 3B, but something did not work and the system does not start. I used the latest release 64bit. I had the same problem with Picoreplayer, and only the 32 bit versions work on the Pi.

Did you read the set-up documents and follow the sd-card installation tutorial there ? (using the Pi-Imager)

Yes, I had read that. I unpacked the rar and then flashed it with the Pi imager. I'll try again tomorrow.

Moode image is is shipped in a zip file not a rar file, and no need to unzip b4 using the Pi Imager
