Hi all,

I was in exactly the same boat as MrClive, as I had some old devices
which would no longer support Napster.

I bought the same kit (RPi2 Model B) and put the noobs install of
Max2Play on an 8GB class 10 micro SD.  I installed pretty much
everything, including Kodi and Shairtunes (which turns your squeezeboxes
into Airplay devices).

It's been running for just over a month now and it's absolutely
flawless.  No outages and no lag, even when playing movies on Kodi
(which runs very smoothly indeed).  There's a "filesystem mount" section
where you can direct to NAS drives (samba or NFS), so there's no need to
do any form of coding whatsoever.

I thought I'd comment, as there was one issue I had which took me a
while to figure out relating to Triode's Spotify plugin.  If you enable
Kodi, it has a conflicting LMS listening port - you'll need to make two
simple changes on LMS: change the Spotify Helper App port to 9010 and
the LMS CLI port to 9099 (from the plugin options).  Restart the PI and
Triode's Spotify plugin works flawlessly.

Also, this may be down to dodgy Wifi (even though my boom said it had
45% signal), but I noticed that everything would work fine before
stopping and starting constantly.  A bit of testing later and it turns
out it was the boom - as soon as I hard wired it over Powerline it was
perfect.  No problems since.

Hope this helps someone.  Long live the squeezebox!

Adrian

P.S. I'm running 1 Touch, 3 Radios & 1 Boom.
