Yesterday, July 24th, Andrew Gillis announced the release of VortexBox 2.1, a Fedora-based operating system that turns any computer into a music server or jukebox. The new version comes after six months of hard work and includes important updates and various neat features.

VortexBox 2.1 is now based on a recent kernel version of the Fedora operating system (with upgraded audio drivers), it includes Logitech Media Server 7.7.2, and it brings support for more than 2.2 TB drives for backups, which is great for 3 TB+ VortexBoxes.

Moreover, the new ALSA audio system implemented in VortexBox 2.1 offers better support for USB audio devices. Also, FLAC to mp3 mirroring now uses ALBUMARTIST instead of BAND tag.

Last but not least, VortexBox Player comes with support for DSD, support for Bluetooth audio devices, Blu-Ray ripping support, and Plex Media Server has been added.
