Re: Article: High-end music player has a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian inside

I’m not trying to show off here but its Raspberry Pi for the correct spelling, 
the things you notice when you’re using a Braille Display you know .
Getting back to the subject, I’m sure we’re going to see a lot more devices 
built around Raspberry Pi or similar.
I’m building up my SDR and I’m yet to make up my mind whether to use a 
Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi or something else? I’ve plenty of options including a 
heap of old mobile phones.

Dude this thing sounds so epic! Especially concidering it has Razberry pie on 
it. Way too cool homy.

Yes, the Squeezebox software is exactly the same as that that came with your 
Transporter, my Boom and Radios etc.
I’d love to try one but that’s the way of the world unfortunately, thankfully I 
have arrangements with others so I can try radio stuff as part of my work but 
nothing like this unfortunately.

I see it uses Ethernet and has no wireless connection. I struggle to get a good 
Ethernet connection in my livingroom these days. My router is upstairs and I've 
used a Powerline adaptor in the past but for some reason this is no longer 
working for me. 

The user interface is always the issue, I haven't heard of Roon software and 
would be pleasantly surprised if it was accessible. Even web browser interfaces 
aren't necessarily going to work with screen readers. I see you can use it with 
SqueezeBox software... I wonder if that's the same interface as my old 
Transporter, which was largely accessible. Pity there isn't an easy way to get 
hold of these things and try before you buy, eh? :)

Now my mouth is watering and I wonder just how much use one without sight could 
get from one of these things?
Given the support from the manufacturer - and the fact that each component is 
well documented along with open source - I reckon we'd be in for a good chance.
