About seven months ago I purchased a new Windows 10 computer and set up PCp on a Pi 3B2+ to run LMS. Therefore, I have been moving a lot files around and this thread got my attention. My music files exist on the windows 10 (primary) computer and on a HHD connected to the Pi (LMS copy). I used the Test Conversion in DBpoweramp to check all my FLAC and MP3 files on both drives. A corrupt file existed on both drives; I suspect it arrived corrupt as it was in a folder I use when people bring their own music to listen to on my audio system. The test also discovered a corrupt file on the Pi LMS copy, but it was okay on the primary; that was an easy fix. Next I will check the third copy I keep on a HHD at my office. If it matters, I use freefilesync when I add new music files. Gary, thanks again for all the good information you provide on the forum!! :) Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Nelson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114889 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
