The latter is correct, I'm trying to build a standalone player. Think a "PiCorePod", like an iPod, but with newer and more up to date DAC hardware, audio codecs, capabilities, storage space and possible customization. I'm attempting to build it on a Pi Zero with the Iqaudio DAC hat and headphone amp daughter board. The display is the Waveshare 4.3 inch touchscreen. It would be powered by the Adafruit power module with a 2500 mAh LiPo battery as a UPS, which can run on battery or line in and the battery gets automatically charged when plugged into wall power. I like picoreplayer because it is very slim, boots quickly and will do only what I need, and that's to be a music player. I got a 512gb SD Micro card from B&H Photo and Video for $96. I think they still have them at that price. The size seems to check out in Windows (so it's not likely a fake). I'm reading through Jeff's *amazingly* detailed instructions (THANKS, Jeff!). I want to do this all very slowly and carefully. I'll report back with the results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AirFiero's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106833 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
