1) I'd just have a look through the settings to familiarise yourself for now, if you make any changes you need to click the "Apply" button. 2) Just attach another USB stick, I think you can mount more than one, give it a different mount name, you can then add it as another folder for LMS to scan on the LMS "Basic Settings" page. Or you can attach a portable USB drive, I have a 2TB drive attached to the Pi in my car. You can also point your Pi at music files on a NAS. 3) You don't need to do anything other than install pCP and a bit of tweaking, remember you only need LMS to be installed and running on one Pi, all other players connected to your network will automatically show up in the dropdown on the main LMS page right-hand side. 24879 4) I don't do iOS, but the guys on here who do, swear by iPeng, just shell out and buy it! 5) I also do do any music services, and I run LMS without mysqueezebox.com integration. 6) Plugins, I couldn't do without BBC iPlayer, YMMV, get to know LMS first. 7) Make a donation to the pCP guys :):cool: +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: choose player.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24879| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ *Study/Server - LMS 7.9.1 -* Pi3B+/pCP 3.5.0/pi screen/HiFiBerry DAC+/jivelite, 25K library on WDMyCloud, cache and playlists on a USB stick (formatted ntfs). *Lounge* - Pi2/pCP 3.5.0 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > AudioEngine DAC1 > AVI DM5 *Dining Room* - Pi3B/pCP 3.5.0 > HiFiBerry AMP+/retro radio *Garage* - Pi3B/Pi screen/HiFiBerry DAC+/pCP 3.5.0 > Edifier R980T *In car* - RPi3B/pCP in AP mode > HiFiBerry DAC+ > car's audio (files on a 2TB USB drive) *Spares* - 1xTouch, 1xSB3, 1xRadio, 1xBoom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108912 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
