I ran into a weird issue. LMS was stopping as soon as I started it. It
turned out to be this log issue, the Squeezebox folder in Logs had wrong
permissions. What made it weird is that all was working fine a couple of
days ago, and I had not updated either LMS or El Capitan between the
two, so I don't know what had gone wrong. I don't actually need to know,
but if anyone has thoughts on it I would be interested.

Problem solved by copying back the Squeezebox folder from a clone of a
while before (I had thought of copying back from Time Machine, but Logs
is not copied through Time Machine). I thought that would be the best
thing to try as I knew things had worked then.

But it occurred to me that there is a problem with mherger's
instructions and the Terminal commands. The instructions say to run
using sudo while logged in as the user who installed LMS.

But I normally run as a standard non-admin user, and installed LMS from
that account. And as a standard user I can't use sudo. 

I could probably have worked out what to do using a GUI. Create the
relevant folder (easy to do if one knows how to get to ~/Library, which
is hidden by default, but can be easily viewed)  and then change owner
and group directly (not possible in Finder, but I use PathFinder which
does give the option to do so).
