No I dont mean that. Linux works with users and file permissions for that user. When you copy music from your home Mac to the USB disk the files get stamped with the user id for the user of the home Mac. This is probably the admin user (or root in Linux terms). Your LMS on the Pi will also use root so can read the files, The user you have on the work Mac is in all probability NOT root so when you copy files from there they are owned by that user and may not be readable by the Pi. By making fresh copies on your home Mac and writing them from there they should assume the same user as all the rest on the USB disk. If it isnt that then it will be that the audio files themselves are not compatible. To fix that it is usually a case of reconverting them from FLAC to FLAC using some other software.
