Hi Beagleboard folks!!!
I’m really glad to announce that Volumio has been released!
Volumio is the porting of the RaspyFi distro, which you may have seen on Raspberry Pi. But what does Volumio??
Volumio will turn your BeagleBone Black into an headless music player. Just connect the tiny Beagle to your home Network and to a DAC. You will then be able to control the music playback with your phone, tablet or PC. Wirelessly!
Volumio has 2 main goals: to sound amazingly good and to be easy and confortable to use.
Just download it, flash to SD Card, hit the user button and you’re ready. You can then grab your tunes from a NAS (Samba or NFS), from External Drives (a powered hub is suggested) or listen to your favourite Web Radios.
You can also use it as an Airport receiver to stream your tunes from compatible devices! Last but not least, with an Android app you can configure several Volumio powered beagles to play simoultaneously to obtain multiroom audio!
This project comes with tons of passion and love for music. And thanks to Beagleboard for giving such an amazing board to work with. The performance on Beagleboard Black are really exciting!
