Hello,
finding raspberry at humane prices is now impossible,
the next supplies are 6 months or more away, and they run out immediately.
Among other things, the prices have levitated, so ...
is it possible to produce a version of moode for pc?
It shouldn't be too complicated,
but it would give further life to the project,
since there are many fanless mini PCs at reasonable costs

Lol, I've heard this before "It shouldn't be too complicated". If it's so easy I'm sure you can just whip the code out in a few days. Oh and don't forget to provide day-to-day user support for your new bug-free PC version.

I didn't want to underestimate the work involved,
I meant that it's not a job that you have to start from scratch, but it certainly wouldn't take a few days or weeks.
I check almost every day the availability of raspberry 4 in my country but for the moment they are out of stock indefinitely.

Swapping the underlying OS on which an application runs is almost the definition of starting from scratch.
Consider that moOde uses MPD to actually play the music (for the most part). MPD is "Music Player Daemon", a piece of software that doesn't exist on Windows, where such things as Daemons don't exist.

who spoke of windows,
I obviously meant the same version of the operating system (linux)
and of the software, compiled and adapted to the X86_64 platform

Sorry, yes you are right that I read Mini PC and automatically assumed Windows. My bad.

@ carmol a port wouldn't take more then a few days?
Next time we need os bump I think we should call you!
I think you underestimate the time the volunteers put in it.
moOde is a lot more then some icing over the stock OS.
You can see the build process here:
Besides the OS it self, moOde exists out of more then 30 custom build packages.
Which currently have the same build process for arm 32 and 64 bit.
Hereby an overview of the stuff you have to build:
And then moode-player software itself, it contains a lot of Pi specific stuff.
A good port wouldn't be just a fork, but adaption of the existing sources and build scripts.
But most is documented, everything is open-source and published, so nothing is holding you back to do it yourself.
