Jeena,
Setting up a Raspberry Pi 2 as my music server. First step: installing Debian, second: installing systemd. Then I will try a couple of different servers like for example http://musicpd.org because I want the convenience of Spotify but with my own music. Let us hope I can find some good looking clients for OS X, Linux and Android too ...

@sikkdays thanks for the links, they seem interesting. The cool thing with mpd is though that there are so many clients for it available.
@sikkdays I was running Plex on my iMac but it consumes so much electricity! Therefor my take with a RP.
@sikkdays I've been looking at subsonic too, the only thing I didn't like was their official player and it seemed to heavy for the RP.
@jeena Interesting. I use Subsonic, subsonic.org on an ancient iMac running Mint. Been thinking of replacing that monster with RPi
@jeena I'm interested in volumio.org also worth note perhaps, andrewkelley.me/post/raspberry…
Absolutely :-P.

Yeah, they had 100k preproduced as far as I understand, Oscar where did you buy them?
Oh that is a really cool idea, I’m in! They’re kind of expensive anyway.
Awesome, I feel like 3d print a chassi next week. ;-)
Where did you get it and how long did you have to wait? I'm guessing they've got their production lines running a bit more smoothly than the last time around?
They ran out an hour or two after I ordered them though
Yep :D
I was thinking maybe this one http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:449877
So they did arrive today?
M had some as well that I know
Haha this looks so cute!
Ok, I got everything set up but sadly the latency is sooo bad, from pressing play on the phone to actually hearing anything it takes 13 seconds … :( mpd isn’t what I was looking for obviously, I want to have something like Spotify which starts playing fast and than caches stuff inteligently. I don’t really want to play on the raspberry pi and then stream what is playing to my phone, I want just the file delivered to the phone as fast as possible and then cached there so I can start and stop playing fast.
Have you tried playing with the buffer settings?
@sikkdays so ok after hours of testing mpd had too much lag and DLNA doesn|t work over the Internet, I installed subsonic on the RP.
