No it wouldn’t unless the rest of the network can’t see it and particularly the Docker instance.

it is as both you and Michael suggest not something that should be even contemplated if you don’t know Jack sh!t about Linux...

[d6jg]

By default NFS exposes as root.root so it’s not likely to be permissions at the NAS end.

The piCorePlayer documentation referred to above explains how to set up the NAS side but the question is can the LMS Docker even see the VM let alone mount it?...

[d6jg]

Have you tried mp3tag and set it to not alter the file date/time stamp. Doing this will stop LMS from seeing any change on a normal scan. I think that tracks will still play ok as long as the file name is unaltered but you would see no change in LMS.

Only when you do a clear & rescan...

What are you using to do the re-tagging?...

[d6jg]

That's not a like for like comparison.

I think I am correct in saying that where no COMPILATION tag exists LMS will treat an Album as a compilation IF it contains tracks by more than one artist i.e. it works off the TRACKARTIST tags.

Are you sure that Album 1 in your example...

philippe_44 I see that you have released 2.1.12.1 as the live version.

I'm still at 2.1.11 and my WiiM Mini is working correctly in virtually default settings however people are reporting that it is not working correctly with 2.1.12.1 - particularly gapless. How can I assist you in comparing...

[d6jg]

The software suite is the interesting bit for me....

[d6jg]

Wasn’t familiar with Holo Red. That’s one hell of a price tag for a Pi4 and a lump of aluminium. And you still need a separate DAC

One of my favourite Mike’s Davis albums. There are quite a few.

Unless you used exactly the same recording level as I did there are bound to be different RG values.

[d6jg]

Yes it is generally fine but it won’t do Smart Gain or Smart Crossfade. It will do proper Gapless though....

[d6jg]

VinylStudio can do “normalisation” but I don’t use it. My RG tags come from Foobar2000 which I use as a post processor after Flacs have been created....

[d6jg]

On the OP. I don’t think there is currently any go to hardware. Until the shortage it was the Pi.

The only commercially available pre installed native players that I know of are DAC32 and DIGI32. I have both but not currently in play as they don’t seem to like my WiFi that much - Qobuz...

[d6jg]

It could easily be the volume setting at the ADC stage. As you know I use VinylStudio which has a setting for digital in to effectively set the volume at optimum level. There is no such option in Audacity that I’m aware of where the recording level is manually set...

[d6jg]

Level 5 but the capture was direct to 16:44.1...

My FLAC copy has a different Kbps !!

...

[d6jg]

I too have a copy that I bought in 79 and I have also redigitised it. At the time I didn’t know it had been recorded digitally. I probably didn’t know until I had recorded it to FLAC and read up on it.
