It is a bit rough around the edges though. Volumio is probably a good place to start as it’s a distribution designed to support audio applications. ![]() ![]() I would suggest one of the following three options: Install and configure a Linux distribution on the Raspberry PI. (See the post-install notes below for a bit more detail.) Prior to installing If you have external or USB audio, it may require some tweaking. This method will work with the default audio out socket on the Raspberry Pi. I’m unlikely to have the time to maintain or support this, but here it is for anyone who wants to try and see if the easy method will work before rolling their own. The problem is that the software to do so doesn’t seem to have been packaged up by anyone yet. The Raspberry Pi is really quite a good platform for using as a networked music player. ![]() I would strongly recommend using a volumio image (available from the first link below) as the easiest way to do UPNP on RasPi. As such I’m no longer using the method detailed here, but it may still be useful if you can’t install volumio on your Pi for some reason. You will need to enable it from the volumio settings, but there is now a turnkey solution to making your RasPi into a UPNP media player. UPDATE: Volumio 1.4 includes built in UPNP renderer support using mpd and upmpdcli. Minimal UPNP renderer package for the Raspberry Pi
