Thanks for your reply @kidstypike, I now have beautiful audio streaming
out of my Pi and it feels quite simply amazing! 

I have a few follow up questions and hope you might be able to help me
further please?

1) I notice that there is a setting page
(http://my-ip/settings/index.html) it looks very extensive. Is there
anything I should know about in here? Any settings that are common for
people to change or tweak to get a better experience? 

2) In the future I will change the USB stick for a larger capacity
stick. Will I need to update any setting settings in the back end to get
the new usb to be recognised? If the worst comes to the worst I can
always format the SD and start from scratch now I know how to set up.

3) I plan on placing some Raspberry Pi zeros around my house as
receivers/clients so that I can stream music to other rooms. What do I
need to do to get the client devices registered and working? 

4) Can recommend a free app for iOS so that I can use my phone as a
remote control? I had a look on the app store but didn't find anything
useable. 

5) Let's talk about apps! I see there is an 'app store' of sorts
(http://www.mysqueezebox.com/appgallery) Any thing from here you would
recommend installing and setting up? I would love to extend the
functionality of my player and would love to get some recommendations on
apps.

6). Let's talk about plugins!!! I also noticed there is a plugins tab in
the settings. How are plugins different to apps? Are there any plugins
you would recommend installing and setting up?

Thank you in advance for your time and help, I am very grateful for all
your help, advice and guidance :)
