• Restart services with systemctl restart mympd
• Use the same URL address above, it will redirect to HTTPS during connection

This is a known issue with Subsonic and is out of my control.
If you experience this error while accessing the Subsonic web page, you can resolve the issue by running the following:

systemctl stop subsonic
rm -R /var/subsonic/jetty
systemctl restart subsonic

Many thanks to thechildofroth for his testing and fixes with the Subsonic installation.

When searching for an Airplay device, execute shairport-sync on DietPi.

There are many AirPlay players available for Android (e.g. AirPlay For Android) and iPad/iPhone (e.g. AirPlay).
Download and use the player of your choice.

Airfoil is an application that will let you stream audio playback directly to any Shairport Sync device. Press play on your favourite music player (e.g.: Winamp/Spotify) and click the speaker next to the DietPi device.

By using a PC + Airfoil, you can master the music in real time using the PCs CPU. This will allow all your Shairport Sync devices to sound even better without any performance hit on the device.

If you are planning to use multiple Shairport devices on the same network, please make sure the hostname of each device is unique. The hostname will also effect the shairport-sync name.
This can be completed in dietpi-config > Security Options > Change Hostname.

Soxr interpolation will improve the output audio quality on Shairport. However, it is extremely CPU intensive.
Enable Soxr:

sed -i '/interpolation = /c\interpolation = "soxr";' /usr/local/etc/shairport-sync.conf
systemctl restart shairport-sync

Disable Soxr:

sed -i '/interpolation = /c\\/\/interpolation = "soxr";' /usr/local/etc/shairport-sync.conf
systemctl restart shairport-sync

If you have choppy playback using Soxr:
Increasing the shairplay-sync process priority (nice) may resolve the issue.

• Run dietpi-services from the terminal
• Select shairport-sync via up/down buttons then press Enter
• Select CPU Nice via up/down buttons then press Enter
• Select -20 : (Highest priority) via up button, then press Enter

DietPi will then automatically apply and set the nice level.

If the choppy playback continues, the CPU most likely is insufficient for the processing required for Soxr. Then Soxr should be disabled.

DietPi will attempt to detect mic input during installation, and apply to DarkIce. If a microphone was not available, or you experience issue, check available microphones with: arecord -l

• Then edit the device entry in /etc/darkice.cfg, or

• Simple copy and paste:

  sed -i "/^device[[:blank:]]/c\device = hw:$(arecord -l | mawk -F'[ :]' '/card/{print $2;exit}'),0" /etc/darkice.cfg
