I use single wav file and cue file per CD.
During a scan, LMS not pCP, gets the information from the cue file and
loads it into the database. No need to click on the cue file.

First thing to check ... is the album, that you showed the top of the

If yes ... then are the individual tracks listed under that album (in

If yes ... then it looks like the scanning worked so try playing one of
the tracks.

To play DSD, you need to install DSDPlayer plugin to your LMS server

Then on your player, go to the pCP web pages, and then on the bottom of

Last I saw you were using an old version of lms. 7.9.2 is fine. Did
you install the DSDplay plugin?
Pcp will play whatever is streamed, its the server task to read the

It seems PCP doesn't play DSD files, at least those I tried. Is that so?
It seems PCP doesn't read or can use cue files, from CDs you ripped on
one large file, with a cue.
Why won't it read the large file anyway, in flac or wav? Any audio
program does.

change the output setting, and squeezelite will restart, you do not need

For most situations the effect of Pause (when playing) and Stop is the

be used for something else.
However, try a long press on Pause.

Yes, LMS is installed on my PC.
Can we forget about LMS for a minute?
The PCP web setup allows to change the output to USB audio, which I did.
For LMS says it's not running, so what is preventing that USB to work?
Is there any other place to set that up?
Volume in PCP's audio settings does not allow any adjustment.

Just FYI ... there are plenty of LMS installs on RPi with libraries in
the tens of thousands of tracks.
There are a few posts here with stats showing scan times that are
reasonable, especially for an operation (clear and rescan) that is run
