In my quest, I learned a bit more about the CuBox. I liked the new user interface and what I saw when I installed it, but unfortunately ran into a show-stopper bug. I tried Volumio again (which, prior to Archphile, was my go-to). So I need to find a distro, ideally one suited for music playback, that will run on the CuBox. And while they aren't weird, specialized hardware, they aren't ubiquitous Raspberry Pi variants either. In my case, I have two CuBox-i4Pro computers bought specifically as home music servers. But there's one extra detail to consider-the hardware. On the one hand, there are a lot of options-e.g., Kodi, OpenELEC, AudiophileLinux, Voyage MPD-or I could even try a server install of my favorite general purpose distro. This state of affairs prompted me to think about a new music server distro.
