About Rune Audio

AT THE HEART OF YOUR DIGITAL HI-FI SYSTEM

A RuneAudio device places itself in the heart of a digital music system.

It’s a streamer player: it can reproduce your digital music library from local USB drives or network mounts (NAS), and also plays any internet stream (web radios).

It’s an headless player: it can be remotely controlled by multiple clients running on different devices.

It’a a digital player, staying at the top of the audio signal flow chain. It offers perfect and gapless playback of common audio formats, and works best when connected to an asynchronous USB 2.0 DAC.

Music Player Daemon (MPD)

Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a free and open source music player server. It plays audio files, organizes playlists and maintains a music database. In order to interact with it, a separate client is needed.

OpenMediaVault

OpenMediaVault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. It contains services like SSH, (S)FTP, SMB/CIFS, DAAP media server, RSync, BitTorrent client and many more. Thanks to the modular design of the framework it can be enhanced via plugins.

OpenMediaVault is primarily designed to be used in home environments or small home offices, but is not limited to those scenarios. It is a simple and easy to use out-of-the-box solution that will allow everyone to install and administrate a Network Attached Storage without deeper knowledge.

Back up external USB drive from previous FreeNAS
