One more note: after you find the squeezelite settings that work best

Yes, I assumed it must have worked for you, but I couldn't get the apt

seem to be working now. Anyway,
Many thanks for posting this! This is very good news for anyone who has

Do you power off your three players when they are not in use, or do you

My only experience is that I looked into it and decided that if it is
possible it is far beyond my capability. Termux is an "Android terminal
emulator and Linux environment app" (that's a quote from termux.com) and
is available from the Play Store and F-droid. Somewhere on one of the

Based on comments from others, installing LMS on a Pi 4 results in much
