RoPieee is an image for the Raspberry Pi devices (3, 4 and 5 family) that is capable of running several audio streaming platforms. RoPieee can be seen as an appliance, and as such requires no computer knowledge whatsoever. RoPieee's functionality is often called a 'network bridge'.
These days many 🎵 fans listen to music via a streaming solution. If you own something of HiFi gear (more then just your phone), with a separate DAC for example, the Raspberry Pi device is a very nice and affordable solution for acting as a network bridge. RoPieee is an appliance that makes it possible to turn your Raspberry Pi in a very capable streaming endpoint, within 15 minutes. Just insert an MicroSD card, turn it on, and grab a cup of coffee. After 15 minutes RoPieee is ready to go, and can be configured from an easy to understand web interface.
