Agree. Things have changed a lot since I tried this.

I just installed Bubble UPNP again. I'm still not impressed. It's incredibly slow. In the middle of a song it decides to skip to the next song. In some aspects the interface is slightly better than LMS. But it's way too slow.

There is a Linn app that does the same thing?

yes - of course you can. But squeezelite is a threaded application. Unlike MPD it likes CPU-cores. The more the better. If you run LMS on the same cores it will occupy ressources that are better used for squeezelite. Of course it will play, but you can actually hear if Squeezelite runs only on one core. the sound is flat and boring.

LMS can stay on my basement server - or another RPi.
