Glad it has been sorted
It is possible to re-encode broken FLACs to new FLACs (which should
work) using dbPoweramp. There is a version for MAC ->

dbPoweramp will convert from one format to another on a batch basis and
is probably one of the best CD rippers

I had downloaded some HD res tracks from ProStudioMasters a while back
on to my work mac. I just copied them on to my external music drive and
they showed up fine when I re-scanned. That was nice!

When you tried to use the original files you unzipped the downloaded
folder ?
I use Bandcamp a lot and they always download as a zipped archive .
But if its a Bandcamp site just set it to download as flac directly ,

I'm very, very new to the world of buying digital music outside of the
apple ecosystem. For most of my years since using a server, I've either
ripped my CDs or downloaded music, all via the itunes interface.
I wanted a dedicated system for streaming (hence the pi/logitech

It may just be that there was something odd about these particular
downloaded files in terms of file format (that LMS didn't like). Have
you downloaded files from different sources and they all exhibited the
problem. Or is the problem limited to a set of files from one vendor?

You could log on to the pi with a terminal and make sure you have the
rigth user and file and folder permissions on the files.
When its connected to the pi .

Also if you mount the drive over the network and have it always conected
to the pi , when you transfer files they will usually get the rigth user
if you set up things correctly .
Linux system can be a bit finicky with users and file rigths.

You could try to drag and drop a FLAC version of a track. If that
doesn't work then maybe try converting one of the files to FLAC yourself
and trying that.

SLARTIBARTFAST,
I copied the album from my external drive to the original mac (work mac)
on which I downloaded the files. Then I copied the album folder back
from the mac to my external drive, in to a new folder "test music"
folder.
Upon re-scanning, the album still doesn't show up in the

The files are downloaded. The album folder is 596 MB. Each file song
name has .aiff on the end. Under "kind" of file is listed "AIFF-C
audio."
SLARTIBARTFAST,
I don't think I made my question clear. What I meant was: If it's a
permissions problem linked to a particular computer,
Not sure, but your description makes me think you havent actually
downloaded the files. You just have links to the files. In the listing
of files in the album folder on your thumb drive, what file types are
shown? Name.flac, etc.

If you move the drive between the pi and another machine (instead of
mounting it over the network) you can get permissions problems , make
sure it has th same folder and file permissions as the other files

Run a scan in verbose mode (Settings/Advanced/Logging, set scanner
logging from the top dropdown list). Re-run a scan, check whether
scanner.log would mention your files.
