Interesting so JRiver + JRemote supports Raspberry Pi.
Yes, you can install it as any regular software package on Raspbian:

You should get a good 5 years or more out of it.
The Mac Mini will be much more capable, polished, plug and play, and expensive

Get an Intel NUC
I got the M1 macbook Air. warmest core rarely goes past 50 degrees celsius with intensive logic pro use. It's quite surreal. I bet the mini will never make a noise.
I have been a Windows user since the beginning. Never used a Mac (Mac OS).
However something tells me if using the computer "headless" the Mac will be a smoother experience. . .
Thank you I will read up on it.
I'm biased but I used both daily and sometimes windows makes me want to smash my laptop into the wall. Give it a go.
I might if the current ancient Windows machine (with Windows 10) I am currently typing on expires.
To be frank Windows has been treating me well.
Occasionally Windows Update break's something, and the odd Driver does the same (blue-screen of death happened to me a few days ago).
But I am quick to catch on to what exactly caused the issue and fix it straight away.
Apart from that I am happy (with very basic use/function) of Windows. I even sync all my iOS devices with iTunes for Windows and it's all fine and dandy. Works exactly how I expect it would on Mac OS.
My only 2 experiences with Mac OS:
- Once a distant family member had an ancient iMac, I tried checking my email on it and got the rainbow circle of death (it froze on the rainbow wheel cursor) I was not able to check my email ha-ha-ha
- family member with Macbook tried to share their Photograph's with me, I plugged the USB drive into Windows machine, could not read the data on the USB drive. failure to share photo's ha-ha-ha
Only FAT can be used to transfer data from one to another. Maybe your usb stick wasn't on FAT format.
True that. Nobody talks about it, but apple pushing ARM tech will have a huge beneficial impact on the carbon print of data centers.
I'm biased but I used both daily and sometimes windows makes me want to smash my laptop into the wall. Give it a go. MacOs is quite intuitive and flawless for basic use. Plus when I go back to my 11th gen i7 everything seems laggy compare to M1.
A M1 Mac Mini is a bit overkill if you use it only as a dedicated music server/streamer
Finally, anyone who uses an Intel mini headless as a server should get one of those $10 HDMI dummy plugs for it too, because if there's nothing plugged into the HDMI port, graphics acceleration will be disabled, resulting in dog-slow performance for many tasks, including the remote screen-sharing necessary to control and administer the computer. I don't know if M1 minis have this same issue or not.
but loud when ripping cds.
I didn't see the point of running a computer all the time on my desk or as an hifi component,
Then there's the keyboard and mouse which need to be wireless
