Hello Community,

I have a basic question: I’ve installed Caldera on my Raspberry Pi and am using Plexamp on my Mac to control it. Is this the preferred method, or is it better to use the Caldera-Amp app for macOS? I haven’t quite figured that out yet. Thanks—Michael

Caldera is the future on headless.

Caldera Amp can’t control, only be controlled, so you’re doing it right.
