• MPD-based playback with library browsing (tag/album/folder), playlists, radio views, and search
• High-resolution audio support including DSD and multichannel playback
• Multiroom synchronized audio
• Built-in support for popular renderers (e.g., AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, UPnP/MPD proxy, Squeezelite, RoonBridge)
• DSP capabilities via CamillaDSP and a pipeline editor
• Network and storage integration, including NAS access and file sharing (SMB/NFS/DLNA)
• REST API for third-party control and integrations

Use Cases

• Turn a Raspberry Pi into a network music streamer for a DAC, USB audio device, or HDMI output
• Build a whole-home audio setup with synchronized multiroom playback
• Create a headless audio appliance controllable from any web browser or via API

Limitations and Considerations

• Intended for Raspberry Pi devices and distributed as an OS image, which may not fit generic server deployments
• Feature set and hardware compatibility depend on Raspberry Pi model, audio HAT/DAC support, and chosen renderer/output

moOde Audio is well-suited for DIY audio enthusiasts who want a polished browser-based player with strong renderer support and audiophile-oriented playback and DSP options. It emphasizes local control and privacy while delivering a stable, appliance-like streaming experience.
