That's what I thought and "in my mind" why using "Music Folder" is

I have certainly used browse by folder to access new music - before the

Playing it adds it to the library so can avoid doing a scan - although

If you put a new album in the folder that LMS scans, then using "Music

database without needing to do a scan.

Greg,
Curious about this:
When I add a new CD, and before a rescan, I use "browse by folder".
It's been my experience that Browse By Folder is based on the scanned
library because it does not do a "read" of the file system when it's used,
but simply offers a different 'view' of the scanned libra

Hi guys,
I know I have said this before but I am still only using a 512M RPi1B
for LMS and was originally using the original 256M RPi1B.
Why? Because I want to test the "low ball" solution. I use a "standard"
pCP/LMS install and do regular insitu upgrades.
Now there are some provisos.

For another perspective,
My RPi journey ...
I discontinued use of my RPi as an LMS server. I had it connected to both
an external USB3 drive and later a Zyxel NAS326. Configuration relatively
simple and it worked. Mostly.
Why mostly? I have a very large library: 3400 albums (vast majority

hi SyrinxGC,
piCorePlayer uses piCore OS, a version of TinyCore for the Raspberry
Pi.
Raspbian is the official OS for the Raspberry Pi.
Everything is on your SD card, so buy a couple and you will be able to
swap quickly between different OS.
There are lots of options. All good. You will find

The A+ does not have built-in ethernet - so you would have to price in
adding one as you intend to avoid using WiFi to the NAS.
A+ good for space saving but B+ is better for server duties.
