Image burner is a program (for burning images to an SD card of course). Like any program, once you download for use, you don't need to download again. For example, you don't download MicroSoft WORD everytime you want to use the program. *Home:* Pi4B-8GB/pCP7.x/4TB>LMS 8.1.x>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* rPi4B-4GB/pCP7.x/4TB>LMS 8.1.x>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>foobar2000 *The Wild: *rPi3B+/pCP4.0/4TB>hifiberry Dac+Pro (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone11 & iPadAir3 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, Material Skin, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) *Files:* -Ripping-: dbpoweramp > FLAC; -Post-rip-: mp3tag, PerfectTunes, TuneFusion; -Streaming:- Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114408 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Setting Up LMS On A Raspberry Pi 4B
I have been following this thread watching Gary and Kidstypike help the OP through this process, staying out of it, but knowing the first time you do it, you don't really understand "why" you are doing the steps, and what they really mean. Making it worse, the pCP "How tos" are for an older version pCP. So, if you make a miss step, you may not know how to recover. Yesterday I found myself thinking that it would be helpful to first timers if the pCP "how to's" were up to date...After you do a couple, you can follow the "how to's" and adapt, but as a first timer, it can stop you in your tracks. Kidstypike, you did just that in post #19! Good Job!

My SliMP3 has been great, for years, but I think that it's died now. Just a few weeks ago. It still looks fine. Everything 'looks' like it's working. But no sound is coming out of it any more. Regarding playing audio from the PC, yes, I just went with a low-tech splitter option, which bypassed the SliMP3 and went straigt to the speakers.

I'll leave it up to you how you get to this point. Burn pCP 7.0.0 to a new or freshly re-formatted 16GB SD card. Insert card, attach network cable & USB drive to Pi. Power up Pi. Find IP address of Pi and enter it into a web browser address bar, and press enter. "*Main page*", scroll down to bottom of page and click the "*Beta tab*", dismiss warning. "*Main page*", Click "*Resize FS*", select 2000MB (minimum if installing LMS) from dropdown box. Click "*Resize*", (takes a couple of minutes). *"Tweaks" page* "*Host Name*" you can keep pCP or rename, I renamed to pCPdemo, press "*Save*". (Reboot). *"LMS" page*, under "*Install and enable additional file systems*", click "*Install*". *"LMS" page*, under "*Set Network DisK Mount*", enter a name, this can be anything you like, it's just an identifier, keep it simple, I entered "*demo*". Tick the "*Enabled*" box. click "*Set USB Mount*". 34298 *"LMS" page*, click "*Install LMS*". Once installed click "*Start LMS*", if started you should see a green tick and LMS is running. (At the time of writing this installs LMS v8.1.1). *"LMS" page*, click "*Configure LMS*", this may or may not open at a "Wizard", mine didn't, it opened at the "*Basic settigs*" tab. Enter the path to your music files on the USB drive by clicking the "*Browse*" button alongside Media Folder". In the pop-up window, expand "*mnt*", expand "*demo*", select your music files folder. This will enter the correct path into the media folder box, no need to type anything, close the pop-up window. Repeat for playlist folder if needed, or leave blank. Click the "Rescan" button, 34299 Click the "*Scanning - View Progress link*". 34302 That's it.
