Upcoming moOde 9.0.0 (Bookworm)

[Tim Curtis]

@nullstring there's a reasonably stable ~pre2 package in the repo if you want to try it out.

Code:

1. Boot a Bookworm Lite image
2. sudo apt update && apt list --upgradable
3. sudo apt -y upgrade
4. sudo reboot

5 Install links to Cloudsmith repo
curl -1sLf \
'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/moodeaudio/m8y/setup.deb.sh' \
| sudo -E distro=raspbian codename=bookworm bash

6. sudo apt -y install moode-player=9.0.0-1moode1~pre2
7. sudo reboot

After installing the package and rebooting, the system will auto-reboot again after importing the managed config.txt file.
