Thank you, Paul, for the info. I think I will start with Plan A because I have made a USB thumb drive for the audio system in my car and updated/remade it a few times. And thus familiar with using Notepad to Find and Replace the file paths in the exported iTunes playlists. I am thinking that having two folders on the Pi usb drive, Music & Playlists and use LMS to point to each as required. My equipment is due later today, so I am still re-reading and trying to absorb this new info. After all these years, from Apple II and the XT, Win 3.11 to 10, I felt comfortable! So this is going to be interesting for me!
