Well, I meant I didn't have another Pi with a display and keyboard to run the build process on.
While I appreciate your replay, you need to understand what FOSS and Open Source is all about. As someone who has used open source for about 10 years or more, there is absolutely nothing in the license agreement that stops an ISO being provided. Don't believe me?
Go download Ubuntu or Linux Mint. They've been doing this for years as has every other flavour, branch or fork of the Linux OS.
What you may not realise is that is against the Linux license agreement (or any other software that is sold under the open source header).
Being free doesn't stop anyone providing an ISO. That's simply not true!

Unless you are running your mint desktop on the same raspberry pi (which was not clear to me if the case) you have no issue. You need one raspberry pi (your audio player) and any other ssh capable machine which from your post it appears you have.
As for the rest, not my concern, simply how the new requirement to build your own image was explained to the users.
So, you're saying I can boot up my Dell workstation that is running Linux Mint, open a terminal session and SSH to my Moode Pi - and that's how I do the build?
If that's the case, great. I just asked what I needed to create the build. I thought I had to have another Pi.
Its just a pity that version 3 had a free build ISO, which I made a donation for, then Version 4 which you had to buy, also had a build ISO. I bought that. Now we have a free build again, but no ready-made ISO. If we did, I'd happily contribute to it as I did on all my Open Source apps.
You may want to ask yourself, how Volumio has a free ISO and always has, given your statement about licensing... I just want to listen to my music.
