OK, so injudicious with my words, I realise.
For completeness:

20,081 mp3 files, 192 GB total size. Stored on a local USB 3 key
plugged into the Pi 4B. I think it would be faster if I was using a
USB3 SSD.

If you're asking which to use (it wasn't clear), while the 3B is
perfectly serviceable, just get a 4. I moved from a 3B to a 4 last year
and full library scans went down from 20 mins to under 1 min, and the

Completely agree about the default skin being unusable on a phone. For
phone use, I use Squeezer - much more responsive (IMHO) than a browser
solution.

This is pretty much what many BBC listeners have complained about. The
BBC believe it's a replacement! To be fair, it's much better than it
was at
For a while, I'd noticed the thread about the community firmware and
always assumed it would be too flakey for general use.
Noticed again yesterday that it sounded more ready for general
consumption. All went swimmingly from my piCorePlayer LMS environment

Interesting catch.
All of this shows how the LMS interface is a bit more constraining,
having to list titles as a single line, compared with Sounds which can
show multiple values per entry.
No easy way to get this perfect. Looks like you're using

True enough - and an experience I've also had. Remember the old days
with radio (and TV)
Just a thought - is it worth adding a note to the first post in this
thread alerting newcomers to the current state of the iPlayer plug-in
and mentioning the Sounds plug-in as an alternative? Sometimes, it can
be helpful to spoonfeed!

As with others, thank goodness for this plugin waiting in the wings for
the moment that the BBC finally killed off our much loved iPlayer
plugin. While I knew about this plugin, I'd not really bothered with it
as I, like many others, preferred the iPlayer way of doing things to
Sounds. But

On selecting a station for listen again: "There was an error loading the

I'm guessing this is a BBC feed change thing (again)?

I'd endorse this approach. I moved away from running LMS on a PC years

performance was never great. I moved to a Pi

I guess that at least rules out a problem with the plug-in - which is

As a happy and grateful user of many years, can I ask two questions in

I've noticed for a while, that the iPlayer listings shown in LMS all
appear to be 1 hour out (early). While it doesn't affect use, I'm

Ah, apologies, I missed that - at least I know I'm not going mad, then!
Interestingly, I have been experiencing the same problem recently with
My PiCorePlayer LMS system. Thankfully, I came upon this thread and a
reboot fixed it for me, too.
I was seeing other odd behaviour that also resolved itself as soon as I
rebooted:

While the problem's been observed chez moi for a few days, I only found
