This seems like basic UX.

That's how confused I am still about how the pieces fit together. I didn't realize the redundancy until you pointed this out. Makes perfect sense. Thanks. I have read conflicting posts on boards about the stability and quality of sound of the different Pi variants: PiCorePlayer, MoOde, Volumio...

So you know what I'm thinking I'll buy is a WiiM Pro mated to a PecanPi streamer-DAC. I had thought I would get the PecanPi without the built-in Raspberry streamer that comes with it so as to just use it as a DAC. But, if I understand you correctly, I want that streaming element to run Pi...

What is a Squeezelite target? Do you run both Squeezelite and WiiM? What benefit is there to that?

I'm preparing to buy a streamer and DAC -- or maybe an all-in-one. Not sure which. My focus is a WiiM Pro with an external DAC. But I have questions. All help will be appreciated. 1) Can I create playlists that blend local music and streaming music in WiiM? In Pi? 2) Can I import playlists...

That's fantastic. Saves me the headache of installing a new layer of software. Would I be able to incorporate those local songs into playlists that include streaming songs (for device-specific playback only, as outlined above)? (I assume I would need to create TWO iterations of each playlist --...

I was looking at the WiiM interface online. There is a "My Music" link that, from what I can tell, controls my personal library/songs on my device. Is that correct? I've burned in thousands of songs, but all but a few hundred are accessible through streaming. So only those few hundred would be...

So would the fantastic WiiM phone app and OS that I've heard about be replaced?

I'm just now stepping into streaming (beyond using Apple Music on my phone) and I'm in the dark about how much of this works. I hope y'all can answer my concerns. To start: I was looking at buying a PecanPi for my home system and using picoreplayer to drive it. That would allow me to create...

Not so much a service as a protocol: Since Airplay 2 does not stream lossless, the addition of the original Airplay would be a huge benefit.
