For me, making all music files belong to me, with full access for me and my group, and the allowing squeezeboxserver access to my group, suits my purpose.
So if my user group is 'tim', I add group 'tim' to squeezeboxserver in the same way as audio above. All my music files are read/write for tim and the tim group, and owned by tim (see chown and chmod commands), so squeezeboxserver can read (and write) them as well. Some people do it the other way round, with squezeboxserver being the owner. I access my music using other tools as well, such a puddletag (for tagging the files) and foobar2000 (running under wine) for many fiddly things that only it does well, so having them owned by me makes more sense to me. There may be other directories used by LMS that squeezeboxserver needs access to, particularly if you use some plugins likes custom browse. However, I suggest you sort out the music and squeezelite first. If you get really stuck, and struggle with linux, Vortexbox could be any answer if that's all you use the box for. The software is free to download. I used it for quite a while before doing my own thing. LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi running Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. Wired Touch + EDO, coax to Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop controls LMS via Chromium. Meridian Explorer USB DAC to listen via Squeezelite on Vortexbox & other PCs as required. Spare Touch in loft. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
