Assuming you do a "look for new" and not a "wipe and rescan", and are looking in LMS, are you looking for the first entry in album artist-> new music? or album artist->tears for fears?

Since setting up this system things are basically fine, but Im having a frustrating problem. I rip the new Tears for Fears CD on my MAC , physically connect the external SSD to it, and transfer the ripped files to it. Then I reconnect the SSD to the Pi, go into LMS via PiCorePlayer and rescan. The newly transferred CD is not being found by the rescan though. I know its there on the SSD because it shows up when reconnecting to the MAC. LMS just doesnt seem to find it. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

When everything is working used the backup feature in Picore to backup the SD card, look for "SD Card Image". That way if the SD card becomes corrupted, you can restore the set-up. 2. if you have not already done so, set up Samba so you can communicate with the Pi via your Mac. This will allow you to copy new music files onto the hard drive attached to the pi.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Straightforward Hard Drive to revive Touch
You can continue to use your Touch as a player. The RPi then acts as a server for your Touch. A minimal version would also not need a screen or an extra hardware for audio output (because the Touch is handling the output).

For many years I connected an externally powered usb hard drive to the touch and ran its tiny LMS. It was clunky and tiny LMS would occasionally crash, but it worked. I used it because I did not have to run my windows computer to run LMS. Then the hard drive failed. I switched to a raspberry pi running picoreplayer and LMS with a connected hard drive. I should have made the switch earlier! Much easier to use. Another reason is there will be no updates to tiny LMS, but LMS for the pi will be updated. It is not worth the trouble to deal with Tiny LMS. Get a pi or check out polyvectron core32 for a plug and play solution. If you really want to rebuild what you had before, use an externally powered usb drive. The touch power supply is inadequate to power many usb drives.

Set up the Raspberry Pi as a server running piCorePlayer and LMS and wired to your router. Attach the hard drive via USB to the RPi or to your router if it has USB input.

Touch is over 10 years old, it was slow and had limited memory when it came out and disk size were much smaller. I think a 1Tb disk maybe too big for it and possibly not right format - IIRC Touch only supports FAT16, FAT32, ext2, ext3 and maybe an old version of NTFS. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115680 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
