I had been working on a media server for my vehicle, and originally used a Pi1 with some success. Around the time I was getting frustrated with the limited MPD interface apps, and the audio quality, and was experimenting with USB sound modules, I ran across RuneAudio. I decided to switch to a Pi3, and give it a go.
RuneAudio is responsive, works from the start. I'm impressed, and will be donating.
My setup is now a Pi3 with a battery pack. The battery will be replaced with a Mausberry car switch module soon, and the USB audio card will be replaced with a Hifiberry soon.
Future version will hopefully have a 3G dongle for internet access on the road.
I realize the focus is to create a good audio product, not a Swiss army knife software.
So we are respectfully requesting the AP to NAT over an additional WIFI connection with a wifi dongle or a 3G dongle. I haven't been able to make this work yet. Will have to research more. Streaming internet radio would become an option, as well as rsyncing a music directory.
