With one of Max2Play&#8217;s main focuses being multiroom audio solutions, we were still lacking a nice, visual component to our system. This has now changed with our new touchscreen for Raspberry Pi and its plugin. Our idea was to find a simple and affordable way to control your Squeezebox system like Logitech&#8217;s Squeezebox Touch. It should be part of the living environment and thus not take up too much space and not look too technical.
