There is an LMS Player setting "Defeat destructive touch to play" in basic player settings. If it is set to ask before playing then that might be the reason.

I've just realised after years of using MP3tag that it can tag tracks using Musicbrainz 🤦♂️...

This is the state of our dining room table when I digitise vinyl 🤣
The only "Audiophile" pressing I own, a half speed master of Billy Joel - The Stranger. ...

Yup, I think I need to play more with Picard. I did indeed find the correct vinyl version by manually searching although it wasn't found automatically. The next one will be a better test without any previous metadata in the tags....

Does it work well when the Vinyl has a different track listing to the CD? I just tried Musicbrainz Picard and it insists a track is missing....

I just tried increasing the zoom in the APK and the player icon disappeared.

My 3TB 3.5" external HDD has its own power supply so I assumed most others also did so again there is no issue when attached to a Pi....

Mine doesn't.

Thanks. I think I might have been doing it correctly but it seems to take a while for the bookmarks to appear on the app.
One clunky way to remove items in "Continue listening" is to open them and drag the progress bar to the end 😀...

If it is related to bookmarks I can't even get them to work in the Android app....

How does Vinyl Studio add track labels? I have just discovered a "Label Sound" function in Audacity which can automatically add labels before tracks but you still need to manually add the track names....

Presumably if you powered the mini router or repeater using a 5V USB powerpack you could maintain portability....

[slartibartfast]

You can turn off "Technical info" in interface settings but the time still appears on the second line so you don't save any screen area....

You are definitely right about the cartridge set up. I only recently tried the Rega Baerwald Arc Protractor to align my cartridge and it is much better than my previous alignment. Inner groove distortion is greatly reduced. I always thought Genesis-Foxtrot sounded poor compared to Selling England by...

I run my Superhub 3 in Modem mode and use a separate router. It allows me to use my Squeezeboxes over the WiFi network when Virgin have an internet outage. It doesn't happen often but when it does you lose WiFi. When I phoned Virginmedia support to complain about it they said it wasn't a problem as...

That's the one. I think Amazon sell it. You lay the record on one of the microfiber cloths, spray it then clean it with the other cloth after leaving it for a minute....

We had one of those USB microscopes at work. I totally forgot about them. Vinyl Clear seems to work quite well at removing whatever gunge is stuck in the grooves. Probably not as good as a record cleaning machine but I am not prepared to go that far. Sometimes the stylus collects a lot of gunge on the...

If this player is connected to mysqueezebox you can't play to it from Daphile or LMS....
