Hello,

I'm posting this message here hoping to find some guidance to stabilise
my setup a bit. I'm not running any particularly complex setup:
    
- Raspberry Pi 3B+
- 16GB generic SD card
- USB DAC
  

I'm on the latest version of pCP and LMS. One of my problems is
described 'here'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?113661-Start-restart-squeezelite-when-plug-in-USB-dac&p=1066509&viewfull=1#post1066509).
This situation is annoying to the point that every time I intend to play
some music, my experience is not what I would like it to be: power on my
DAC and Amp, grab my phone, launch LMS and off my music goes. No. I
always need to reach for my smartphone or PC and either restart or
reboot pCP, restart LMS, or both. This typically solves the problem and
I can get on with my audition. I'm currently trying a component that
somebody kindly shared with the community, but as you can see in that
thread, I'm still having issues on which I can't still put my finger.

On this previous problem, note that I created an issue in GitHub 'here'
(https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezelite/issues/173), but I don't
see any progress on the GitHub case at this stage.

One other issue that I'm experiencing is my DAC 'is not 100% friends'
(https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezelite/issues/172) with pCP. I
opened an issue in GitHub, but so far nobody seems to be looking into my
case. Adding on to the pCP+LMS issues that I'm experiencing, when I add
my DAC to the picture, things get worse as a result of the added new
moving part.

I also have one other issue which is less important in comparison with
the other issues above, but it is pretty annoying. I've learnt to live
with it and I don't use Spotify Connect these days. More information
'here'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?112254-Spotify-authentication-with-Spotty-failure&p=1065744&viewfull=1#post1065744).
Spotify Connect won't play well with my setup. It is constantly out of
sync. And today I noticed that the user interface is acting up with
files stored on a my USB thumb drive hooked up to the RPI: regardless of
which song I chose earlier today, user interface would keep displaying
the same song from that album that I had selected.   

I truly think pCP + LMS is a very very attractive and enticing solution.
I really want to get it seamlessly working in my workflow and with my
current setup. I wonder if I may have made some mistake during the
initial setup, when portioning the system whatsoever, and I have started
to consider to ditch my current setup and start anew with a vanilla
pCP.

Could somebody help me stabilise my system? Should I start anew?

I thank you all in advance!
