I’ve replaced all my old access points with the seriously overspec’ed Linksys MX4300. They’re all running OpenWRT so I’ve been thinking what else I can give them to do. Why not let them replace my Raspberry Pi based media players?
So I moved the USB audio adapters from the RPIs to the USB port on one of the access points. Log into the router and run:
opkg update
opkg install squeezelite-full kmod-usb-audio
/etc/init.d/squeezelite start
/etc/init.d/squeezelite enable
That’s pretty much it. Music Assistant picked it right up.
One last thing, since I have multiple players I went into /etc/config/squeezelite and set option name.
Fewer wires, less equipment, less power (probably).
