Hi,
Moode is not consumer turnkey software and thus Moode Setup guide is written at a level that assumes the reader has a basic understanding of Linux, MPD, ssh etc. If thats not the case then using and exploring Moode will prove to be a great learning experience
Click the \/ icon in upper left of Playback panel and Save playlist will appear at bottom. Saved playlists appear in Browse panel.
Moode includes a sophisticated auto-shuffle (random play) feature that is enabled on System config screen, otherwise standard MPD random play.

Just finished setting up Moodeaudio on my 'old' RPi-B after testing Volumio (where my Ralink WiFi stick was stuck at 1Mb/s) and RuneAudio (the latest version for the Pi B is from 2014) which created random errors.
Moode just works (almost) out of the box, the only problem was to get the sound out of the HDMI port (as I don't have a DAC - yet). Solved this by adding "hdmi_force_hotplug=1" to the config.txt, then I had to switch the output manually by
the command: amixer cset numid=3 2
Since then it just works nicely.
Thanks to the developers!! Great job! Pleeeze keep this project alive!

As another convert from RuneAudio, I would agree that moOde audio has many superior features and most importantly excellent sound.
As for keeping the project alive, the obvious way is to donate!!
Happy Listening

Hi,
Due to the significance of the new features and updates coming in the next release, especially for high-end audio, Moode is getting a bump to 3.0

Woot!
Sorry, I'm spending a lot of time working with teenagers and have fallen into their slang. This particular expression is older than they are, actually.
Urban Dictionary: woot

Hi Axell
I used mood 2.7 in the end (it is very easy to configure for iqaudio dac after).
Moode allows the pi 3 to run an access point. What this means is that the pi 3 sends out it's own Wi-Fi signal that you can log on to with your laptop.
So switch the pi on with no ethernet cable attached.
On your laptop disconnect from your normal Wi-Fi network, and wait for moode to appear on your laptop as a Wi-Fi network you can log in to.
On your laptop Log in to moode Wi-Fi network.
Use moodeaudio as the wifi password. (May be capital M).
Then in your internet browser on your laptop open a new tab and go to diyAudio server HTTPS page
Hang on that browser tab and within a few minutes the moode interface well miraculously appear!!!!
This worked for me!!!
Tim PLEASE put instructions like this in your set up page. I was within a few seconds of giving up on moode totally when I thought to try this!!!! We lesser beings need this kind of instruction
I have not been successful without ethernet connection on RPi0, it must have been none of my wifi dongles put out the signal, now I have some idea how it should work, thanks for instructions for the dummies like me...
Ah... I just check Kent's urbandictionary link - that's not what I thought WOOT meant at all! I thought it was "Want One Of Those". Hey ho.
Pi Zero with the Redbear IoT hat works.
I've had USB power issues using WIFI adapters unless I use a powered hub. Not entirely sure of the features of the Zero. On the Pi2/3 .... or even the B+ you could increase USB power in the config....
Scratch that....
"max_usb_current" is the thingy. Not applicable to the Pi3 or the Pi Zero. Pi3 already configured to 1.2A USB power, Pi Zero not limited at all unless you smell burning Pi!

allo KALI from India
I tried allo's KALI, and could not work with moode 2.7.
Any work around available?
KALI is this one.
ALLO – KALI I2S RECLOCKER
http://www.allo.com/marketing/brochures/allo-kali-brochure.pdf
This works with BB5122 and ess9023 DAC chip.
I hope to use this with moode 2.7.
Thank you very much in advance.

Well, ess9023 first.
But it requies modification to have mclk from kali.
So it 5122 first should be ok.
Well the Mamboberry LS is in the Moode list, it uses ES9023, and it works without modification with Kali.

Hi,
For me, 2.7 has been working flawlessly for weeks without the slightest problem and with great SQ. The only small "improvement" I have been missing is an override mode (barge in mode) for Airplay but as I understand that feature is in the pipeline
All the Best ;-)

A cautionary tale (with a question to Tim at the end):
My interest has been piqued by the ongoing mentions of UPnP. It's not technology I need in my current situation but I can't resist the appeal of a shiny new toy!
Turned out to be dead easy to bring up a UPnP AV MediaServer and configure Moode to be a UPnP Renderer.
I started exploring randomly selected Linux and Android UPnP Control Points. To be kind to my partner, I was listening through headphones using a USB DAC/amp.
Yeow! I almost blew out my eardrums.My first attempt to select and play a track using a Control Point started my Moode at 100 percent volume---vastly exceeding the warning limit I'd set on volume on my Moode. My left ear is still feeling the after-affect 12 hours later.
Tim - It's unclear to me what the "ALSA volume (%)" entry in System Config does. The name is suggestive but while a value can be set on this page the information popup says it's the "current ALSA setting" as if it can depend on other things. Would setting a limiting level here be a reliable way to prevent a repeat of what happened to me?
Regards,
Kent
PS - still don't know how I managed to tell the CP to play at full volume. Default setting? Rookie mistake? Either way, it should be possible to avoid the consequence.
