Dear friends,
It has been a month full of work here in RaspyFi, I started alone and now RaspyFi is beginning to take shape thanks to the help of some friends who joined the team. RaspyFi is also being made by its awesome userbase, you guys are so supportive and smart and we're making our best to make RaspyFi even better. So, there were lot of stuff to do. But we didn't want to let you wait too long. So here it is, before the RaspyFi version 1.0 will be released, you'll have the opportunity to test it. Your feedback is very important, as this will help us fix some problems that we didn't point out.
You'll find some brand new functionalities, which I think are really awesome.
Here some of them:
-aac,ogg,alac support
-ntfs support
-a web gui (thanks to Andrea, Simone and Piero)
-RAMPLAY mode
-async dac support out of the box in bit perfect
-no more 44/16 resampling
-webradio support
-disabled logging (less space wasted and sd card lifespan improved)
-beets for managing library
-spotify support
-lastfm support
-lots (mean lots) of bug fixed
To help you with all of these new features, I started setting up a user manual that you can find here:
http://www.raspyfi.com/raspyfi…..er-manual/
Please, provide your feedbacks (both on the distro and the manual) on this thread, and in few days RaspyFi will be out!!!! Thank you and hope you'll enjoy RaspyFi!

For NAS Users:
Edit your etc/auto.nas to be like this:
Nas -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm,rsize=2048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=pi,password= ://192.168.nasip/sharename
Really looking forward to trying the beta.
Unfortunately my HiFi is all dismantled and safely put away while we decorate so probably won't get a chance to try it until after the weekend.
At least next week my DAC will be here and I'll be able to connect to it over coax rather than USB

Hello,
And a great thanks for your work !
I don't manage to save the network config I entered in wicd-curses, through ssh. When I press F10 to save, the terminal opens its file scrolling menu. I run on Ubuntu 12.04. Well, it's not really a bug, I just don't know how to do 
I had no sound during my first test :
[email protected]:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [ALSA ]: BRCM bcm2835 ALSbcm2835 ALSA – bcm2835 ALSA
bcm2835 ALSA
1 [M2496 ]: USB-Audio – Musical Fidelity V-DAC 24/96
Musical Fidelity Musical Fidelity V-DAC 24/96 at usb-bcm2708_usb-1.3, full spee
I replaced
device "hw:0,0"
by
device "hw:1,0"
in /etc/mpd.conf
Then it works.
It seems to me that the BCM2835 had been deactivated in Raspyfi RC2
The great thing is that it works with my Musical Fidelity M1Dac-A…
The bad thing is that mpd crashes after a pause 
. (it crashed bu restarted after a first pause, but definitely crash after the second one…)

NAS config does not work for me … Error 115 (everything verified) but was previously working on RC2
My NAS is a Stora …
Config file for NAS
Nas -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,rsize=130048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=musicmpd,password=MYPASSWD ://stora/nosfichiers/Music/BEN/
Error :
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -115
It was working great with RC2 … don't understand …
Help ? Thanks guys and thanks for your work …..
Ben
Sorry this beta is now working at home (you can delete my previous post on this topic) …..I had problems with my internet BOX and port forwarding ….
Thanks to all of you for your hard work !!! Sounds sound better than with the RC2 for my flac files !!!
My config is quite simple : NAS (Stora) using Samba sharing, DAC Firestone Audio FuBar II, Amplifier Cambridge Audio 540A
I will continue testing …. Radio streaming for example …
Thanks again !!!!
Good luck for all developpers and testers …

When my friend got a Naim streamer I (enviously!) said " I can build something like that for a 10th of the cost!"
Now I'm close to being able to invite him over and prove that I did!
Of course I will under no circumstances disclose the fact that I didn't do much more than download and install RaspyFi to get this thing working.
And once my big-spending friend has been had… I'll spread the word about this.
Thanks a lot for all the work.

Hi
Just a short report on how it is working so far.
My dac (pcm2702) is working nicely.
My USB HD with NTFS was mounted and I could read it if I sudo'ed to root but mpd could not index or play from it. I did not go into deep debugging but did add the ntfs-3g package and added a line to fstab and then it worked. I can do some tests if you would like me to, just send me a line and I'll try.
I think this is quite a nice setup, the raspberry pi with mpd. I have been thinking about something like sqeezebox (to expensive) or an old laptop/desktop (to large) but this seems perfect
Thanks a lot,
Johannes
Thank you this is a precious report. Could you please remove the line from fstab and see if usbmount can mount it?

I can't get wicd-curses to recognise my wireless device. I've used wicd-curses before and it's worked fine.

Justo do
sudo wicd-curses
instead of only wicd-curses

Hello!
Just assembled my new PI and tried out the RaspyFi distribution. I use it with an Nuforce udac2.
My collection of FLAC music is on Synology NAS and it seems to work straight out of the box.
Real nice work
Now i plan to check out the Spotify support but got a little stuck.
- Where is despotify located in the filesystem? I can not start it according to the tutorial so it seems not to be in the path.
- How do you connect to the WebGUI?
Thanks.

Just type the I.P. of your PI in the adress bar of your browser …

Just type
sudo despotify
then
:connect
once connected type
:search
But you can add spotify track by copying spotify uri, and in gmpc "add url". Then write spt:// and paste the uri
it should work, but in last days doesn't work for me… Wanna know if works for you guys…
Things fixed by far:
-added raspbian repos
-added firmware-ralink
-added ntfs-3g for ntfs support
-fixed samba issues
Does this mean there will be another beta available soon?
Due to family commitments I'll probably not get a chance to try this release until next week, so if there's likely to be another beta soon then I'll wait for that one

I am having some problems with this image. I have attempted writing beta 1.0 of raspyfi to an SD card. I used Terminal and changed directory to my Downloads folder. I unarchived the image. In Terminal I ran "df -h" before inserting my SD card, then put in my card and ran "df -h" again to get the correct disk path. Then I ran "sudo diskutil unmount /dev/disk1s1". After that I ran "sudo dd bs=1m if=raspyfi.10betatest.img of=/dev/rdisk1". Terminal seems to hang (and I know writing a disk image to an SD card takes some time). I've tried this about three times, waiting a half hour at the longest point. Each time I have to Control C out of the terminal and then I get a message saying stuff was recorded to the card.
I'll put the card in my Pi and boot it up, but it never appears on my network. I've tried downloading the raspyfi image multiple times. The Pi is running fine and I've tested it with the latest wheezy image from Pi's site.
Any thoughts guys? I'd love to get this up and running for a old 1940's floor radio project I'm turning into a digital WiFI radio/Pandora player.
Thanks in advance!

I've made an image of this on an 8gb sd card and am now using it. Seems to be working ok, and connecting to internet radio streams is nice.
Is the /mnt/Nas/Nas/… replication really necessary? This has happened since the change to autofs. I've actually abandoned that and gone back to entries in fstab, since all my music is on another computer anyway, so I'll always be mounting an external share and I can do without the extra level in gmpc's database tree display.
It seems to take a lot longer to login to the rpi using putty now, there is a definite delay between entering username pi and getting asked for the password. What's it doing?
Nice to see ntp is keeping the date correct now! Keep up the good work! http://www.raspyfi.com/wp-cont…..-laugh.gif
