A $70 Audio Player?

  NETWORK MOUNTS:
 
WRITE ACCESS TO THE USB ATTACHED TO YOUR RASPBERRY PI:
 
This will allow you to send music to the USB attached storage on your Pi from your computer.  I use this when I get new music and want to have it on my Pi.
 
Click "File Explorer" from the start menu
 
Click "Map Network Drive"
 
Select a drive number that isn't used often.  (I used R for RuneAudio)
 
Enter \\192.168.1.13\music_store\USB\Music
 
In the example above...
 
192.168.1.13 = the IP address of your Pi
Music = the name of your usb drive.  To get the name of your USB drive access the WebUI and select sources from the menu in the upper right corner.  The name is after USB\  See below for an example. 
 

 
 
In this example, I have named my USB drive "Music".  If you didn't name your USB drive it will likely have a manufacturers name.

Yes! This really helped, thank you! I originally had the Pi streaming files from the network, but it makes much more sense (to me) to give the Pi a dedicated USB drive which is periodically synced to my PC's main music folder.

That does work well, but I prefer to similarly make a shortcut to the drive rather than map it.  That way, your computer won't unnecessarily "search" for that drive on the network every time it boots up.

This is actually a good idea.  I think I will update the guide to include how to make a shortcut.  At work we are no longer allowed to map drives due to recent crypto-locker attacks.  The latest versions of the crypto-locker viruses can encrypt your mapped drives also.  Not a huge deal in a home situation (you should have backups) but in a corporate setting where everyone works off those mapped drives it shuts down a lot of work very quickly.

Can anyone suggest a method for gaining write access to the drive whilst it's plugged into the Pi? I tried to sync some music to the drive whilst it was plugged in to the Pi but I get an access denied error. I can view the files attached to the Pi just fine on my laptop over the network, but can't add/delete.

If your'e using Rune, see this post in the Rune forum.

Yep, this worked for me. I'm just going to outline what I did as it involved connecting the dots a bit. Alas, I'm good with Windows but not Linux. Runeaudio and it's contemporaries are great but I think they still have a way to go before they can appeal to the total layman. Here's what I did to get write access the to the USB drive attached to my Raspberry Pi w/ Runeaudio:
 
  • Turn dev mode on by going to IP.ADDRESS.OF.YOUR.PI/dev
  • Open Putty and log-in using the instructions outlined on Page 1 of this thread
  • Type: nano /etc/udevil/udevil.conf
  • go to line 219:

    default_options_vfat      = ro, iocharset=utf8, noatime, uid=$UID, gid=$GID
    default_options_exfat     = ro, nonempty, uid=$UID, gid=$GID
    default_options_hfsplus   = ro, uid=$UID, gid=$GID

    change to:

    default_options_vfat      = rw, iocharset=utf8, noatime, uid=$UID, gid=$GID
    default_options_exfat     = rw, nonempty, uid=$UID, gid=$GID
    default_options_hfsplus   = rw, uid=$UID, gid=$GID
  • You should also take this opportunity to change the NTFS write settings too:

    change this line:
    default_options_ntfs = ro, nosuid, noexec, nodev, noatime, fmask=0133, uid=$UID, gid=$GID, utf8

    to this:
    default_options_ntfs = rw, nosuid, noexec, nodev, noatime, fmask=0133, uid=$UID, gid=$GID, utf8
  • Save and close: ctrl-x . key "y", enter
  • Restart RuneAudio in the GUI.
  • In Windows, re-map the network drives and test write access by creating a new folder.

Hmm, I started that thread.  I thought I was imagining things when I first heard the channel swapping and spent a couple of days swapping cables, changing interfaces, tweaking settings and trying different power supplies. After implementing the changes that Frank (hondagx35) provided, my Pi3 & Digi+ have been working flawlessly.......so far (knock on wood).

Same here, after applying the new Kernel everything seems fine. It does seem to be limited to those with a Pi3, Digi+, and connected USB drive.

Want to try my hand at setting up one of these for music playback. Tired of using my big gaming rig that heats up the room just to listen to music.

What I would like is 3 things:

-Playback of my own personal files from an external hard drive.
-Tidal streaming support.
-Bandcamp website support.

What will I need beyond a pi3 and enclosure to do this? I'm assuming I can run the USB out to my Modi 2 Uber (runs on its own power supply so shouldn't be drawing power from the Pi)

Thanks!

Because those services have relatively closed api's the options I can think of are:

1. Chromecast audio using its optical out assuming you can cast from bandcamp. Bubble upnp can handle local files and tidal.
2. Pi running kodi using USB out or hifiberry.
3. Pi using traditional music os (volumio/runeaudio) with USB out/hifiberry but download whatever you want to listen to from bandcamp and use bubleupnp server to provide tidal streaming.

For such a great platform, bandcamp is pretty annoying to extract audio from and control.

Anyone else got any other ideas for that combo? It's a bit of a weird/unfriendly combo.

What is the advantage to getting a hifi-berry with coaxial out to connect to a DAC over just connecting to the DAC via USB?
Click to expand...


USB is inherently flawed for audio, there are many conversations around here as to why if you are interested. Other forms of digital out avoid the raspberry Pi's USB which is shared with its network adapter and any external devices you use with it. Things like the hifiberry lift the audio out without touching the USB controller then output it as other digital forms like coaxial as you said. Whether you can hear a difference? No idea, YMMV. But for the cost I'd say it's a worthy investment just to try.
