That works pretty well! But I have 2 questions: 1. is there anywhere/anyway that the filesystem in termux intersects with the one of Android? That would make it easier to transfer some files back and forth. 2. when I run squeezelite as a 'task', and then exit the task, squeezelite keeps

The older pi boards sdcard slots were not very fast. The newest boards are faster, but don’t think speeds even task a good class 10 card. Putting your LMS data on the card works fine, but if you don’t power down your system, can lead to corrupt cards. A 3rd partition would prevent boot

Concerning rights: do note that on EXT file system users are not known by name but by their ID which is not unique across systems as Linux typically assigns these in order of creation. i.e. if your `squeezeboxserver` user has ID 107 on your original system and on PcP it has 105 then on PcP it
