    Ooh ooh, I know this one!

    You could run Mopidy, which has support for Subsonic libraries. You could also run plain MPD.

    Whatever you decide to go with can then be connected to Snapcast, which is a server/client setup for streaming audio from a source to multiple client endpoints (in this case your workshop, phone, PC, etc).

    On devices that can run the client software, like a desktop or phone, you just run the Snapcast client software.

    To connect stereo/AVR systems to Snapcast, you can build a streaming endpoint with a Raspberry Pi ZeroW with a Pirate Audio hat, or the version without the screen, and set up the Snapcast client software on it, and then connect it to your stereo system.

    If you have a 3D printer, you could optionally print out a case for the client devices.

    This is my setup, right down to using Navidrome as the Subsonic server and I couldn’t love it more!





  • Its much more responsive in my experience. It supports a wide range of options, has gestures for controlling certain settings (i.e. brightness and warmness) allows position syncing with other KOReader devices (Another reader,Android App for example), browsing and downloading from OPDS catalogs and Calibre instances, Downloading saved articles from Wallabag instances.

    Honestly the only thing I use the stock Kobo software for is to launch KOReader. It does everything the stock software does but better.

    I should mention, you install KOReader and its dependencies on top of the regular firmware, not over it. You can use them side by side
