Volumio for UDOO Dual, Quad and NEO has just been released.
Volumio is a free and Open Source Linux Distribution, designed and fine-tuned exclusively for music playback. By flashing (installing) Volumio on UDOO, it will then become a headless Audiophile Music Player.
Headless means that the only way to control it will be with another Mobile phone, computer or tablet.
This is made possible by Volumio’s UI: a web applications that runs on any device with a browser, and that allows an easy and intuitive control of your playback sessions.
All communications between the webapp and Volumio will happen through your home network.
