Moode Audio Player for Raspberry Pi

Jump to Latest

Hey Tim,

Quick question.

I'm using an I2S DAC With no hardware volume control.

Am I correct in thinking that volume set to disabled will produce a more bit perfect reproduction? (I have no need to adjust the volume in moode) further to this can I have volume = disables yet still enjoy the equaliser function and cross feed or does that need volume = software?

Many thanks

Hi Bryce,

I'm able to repro this. Its a data bug. The stored value in the sql table has two spaces between the words while the actual <title> value has only one space. Its almost impossible to notice that there are two spaces between the word when the stored value is displayed on System config.

Here is how to fix it.

1) Change MoOde Player to MoOde2 Player (make sure there is only a single space between the two words.

2) Change MoOde2 Player back to MoOde Player

Sometimes it takes a bit before a Browser refresh reveals to updated title.

It seems like a lot of the folks here are going crazy for your product. Congrats. I just got a few DACs for SBCs I plan on using in a few ways. I have to control with LMS because then the GUI populated nicely with my HA system. What are the differences with this and picore player and max 2 play?

I tried all the others, I was never quite satisfied, moode is mature and pretty much feature complete.

Tim works hard on the product and values community feedback and as you can see there's plenty of users who like to help each other out.

For me, moose was like using a professional piece of software where everything g "just worked" the competition whilst good always had some major drawback that bugged me.

Mood is especially suited to high fidelity Music applications

Hi,

Setting MPD volume control to "disabled" results in MPD outputting 0dB (100%) volume. Its meant for configurations where an external physical volume control is being used.

Any config that yields no DSP (volume attenuation/boost, resampling, EQ, etc) will be "bit-perfect".

Thanks for the reply Tim,


Just to rephrase the question slightly so I understand, are DSP / crossfees effects compatible with both volume = software and volume = disabled?


I'm not strong on Linux audio and wonder if by selecting volume = disabled you are bypassing the ability to manipulate the bitstreAm... or am I working on a bad assumption ?


THANK YOU

I second this.

Moode has "just worked" for me going back to my first use with r2.6, while the others I had tried prior to that? Not so much.

And thats certainly not meant to disparage the competition, perhaps my problems with the others were self inflicted at that time.

However it is clear that Tim's program not only works well, and sounds great, but is under constant development and improvement too.

An OUTSTANDING value coupled with the RPi3 hardware, in my case used as a UPnP renderer with an I²S DAC HAT.

MoodeCase is also quite cool!

Hi,

You can still perform DSP like resampling, Crossfeed and EQ with MPD volume set to "disabled".

Hi,

If you know a little Linux ssh then try the cmd below. its a workaround until I can get an in-place update packaged up. Note that the Boss driver only works in the Adv kernels.

sudo sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db "update cfg_audiodev set kernel='' where id='1’"

Worked...we are in business!

One more issue: The volume control on the playback window is very erratic and slow to respond. Mouse seems to 'capture' the volume control...any ideas?
