I am using a 1:1 copy of my Music (before it was iTunes) library for LMS. I am using this because my Mac Pro has not to stay on and I also have another backup of the library. This drive is mounted read only to my LMS Pi (with piCorePlayer). So there should be no problem to use your iTunes library directly from you Mac. I think you can simply mount the start of your iTunes library (.../Media/Music) to your Pi and use that as the start for LMS. You don't have to use the Library XML path. But if you change something in your library you have to do a rescan with LMS. Depending what you changed (like changing tags of the music files) you have to do a full rescan. If you just added an album, you can scan for new files. pi4 4gb picoreplayer with lms and squeezelite for usb inside an argon one case pi3b+ (7\" display, hifiberry dac+ pro) picoreplayer with squeezlite/jivelite for hifiberry and bluetooth headphone inside a smartipi touch case two airport express ikea symfonisk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ carsten_h's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113282 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
