Thanks
For the most part, I'm running vanilla moOde players with either DAC HATs or USB DACs and not making extraordinary demands in terms of CamillaDSP processing or other memory-intensive tasks. I find even the 512MB model Pis, such as my favorite, the 3A+, are adequate.
A Pi 4B 1GB model works for me; a Pi 4B 2GB model has more than enough headroom; and the 4GB and 8GB models are overkill for playing music IMHO.
I do not try to make the Pis serve multiple purposes by loading other programs to run along-side moOde. That could increase the demand for memory but how much depends on specifics.
Building the software is a different matter. More memory almost always pays.
