The reason is a bit technical and maybe confusing but I had used the Windows FAT filesystem for the USB hard disk and when I mounted it on my Linux laptop (Puppy Linux distribution), ownership of all files was changed by Puppy Linux to root. In the past I couldn’t set the ownership for the USB hard disk on the Raspberry Pi. Read this if you (like me) run into problems with file ownership on your Raspberry Pi.

Later I also used the scp command (Linux, OSX) in the terminal and simply copy the music files on my PC to the music folder on my Raspberry Pi powered LMS. They have basically the same functionality but gFTP is not available for Windows while FileZilla is available for GNU/Linux, OSX and Windows.

The software that I’m using is either FileZilla or gFTP. FTP is a network protocol to transfer files between a client and a server. I decided to use FTP to transfer files over the network to the Raspberry Pi. For adding new albums this proved to be be a clumsy method and I quickly found myself looking for an alternative. At first I unmounted the USB hard disk from the LMS, removed it and connected it to the laptop and copied the albums. Now about moving the encoded files to the LMS. A simple example is that album art is added to the file. The tagger completes the metadata on the music files which is very convenient when uploading the files to the LMS. It can also tag the files using CDDB but I use MusicBrainz Picard because does a much better job when it comes to tagging (in addition MusicBrainz can organize your digital music library). Asunder has a simple interface but it has many options can encode to many different formats. All the ripping is done using Asunder, a low resource ripper for Linux. When I buy a new CD I want to add it to my LMS. Adding, changing and deleting music files

All software that I used for this project is free and open source. Finally I provide a tip to debug problems with the Logitech Media Server. In this blogpost I’ll explain how I add and remove music files from the LMS and create a simple backup of your music files. In the meantime however I do need to maintain the LMS. I guess that eventually I have to replace the USB-HDD that I connected to the Raspberry Pi with a better one. What started as an experiment now has become a device I’m starting to rely on. I’m using my Raspberry Pi based Logitech Media Server a couple of months and I’ve grown very fond of it. Works with foobar2000 v1.I wrote earlier about the Logitech Media Server (LMS), open source software that I’ve used to turn a Raspberry Pi into a music server for my Squeezebox devices. Control a Linn Ds product including making playlists, switching sources, etc. Control foobar2000 playback from an iPhone, WMP12, or any other Control Point.

Push audio from either your local foobar2000 Media Library or another UPnP Media Server to WMP12, an iPhone (PlugPlayer) or another foobar2000 instance on the network. Use the server to stream audio to a PS3, XBOX360 (using their interface), iPhone (PlugPlayer) specific support Linn Ds product: handle Playlist sources for on-device playlist management and other analog sources (volume control only) integration with the Media Server to serve locally managed audio control playback of UPnP Av Media Renderers (similar to Windows7 'Play to' feature) browse and play music via the Internet from another foo_upnp Media Server, with optional transcoding to mp3 to save bandwidth browse remote Media Servers for local playback or remote playback to an UPnP Renderer on the network works well when accessed from WMP12 (possibly also with WMP11, untested). accessible from the Internet (only from foobar2000 or an iPhone/iTouch with PlugPlayer). powerful per device streaming options, to adapt audio format to the capabilities of the remote playing device.Ĭonversion to WAV or LPCM, transcoding to mp3, resampling, replaygain, bitdepth conversion, conversion to stereo, DSP chain.
