They seem to have broken compatability with all other Pi

I suspect you're right - there'll be more of that type of solution in no
time. I think I'll work on making space for such a solution. I'm sure

There are lots of threads about the "thermal" problem (and some
solutions offered or suggested).
There are quite a few reasonably priced solutions appearing already and
more, n
That's interesting if the board is part of the thermal design. If the
heat is intended to reach the mounting holes, then brass stand-offs
should help to pull that heat away. Another option is to use longer
stand-offs and make the 'hat' connection via a short ribbon cable.
That'll create a bit

I've been running the pCP6 beta on a 4GB 4B inside my amplifier
enclosure. Some first impressions on the heat issues:
Running LMS and Squeezelite seem to provide only a very light load to
the 4B. CPU temperature seems to be dominated by the ambient
temperature and limited airflow inside my amp
Does anyone have an idea if it somehow is possible to "tweak"
Squeezeplay and Jivelite so that the power button is "illuminated" when
the selected player is on?
I.e like in the standard web GUI where the power button goes from white
to a greenish colour when power on a player.
Mostly running Sq
