I was given some Squeezebox hardware by someone at work. It works really well, aprat from the Duet remotes. They’re hard to see, and lose connection to the network too easily.
I was despondent about this, as the Squeezebox kit and software is really good, but not being able to reliably control it was a PITA. I could use the web interface, but my work laptop can’t connect to my LAN for reasons.
However, what I do have is a lot of old phones. I never dispose of them, as they may be useful one day. I dug out a Nexus 5X (running Android 8.1) and installed Squeezer on it.
I now have a nice little, clear & bright remote for my music which I’ve printed a stand for, and it can have a USB cable for power permanently attached.
