The USB output runs via a reclocker with a separated power supply to a MARANTZ SA10, used as D/A… I played the setup to some journalists and saw some very surprised faces. We designed a proper linear power supply here for the Tinkerboard and I separated the 5V USB power between the hard drive and the Tinkerboard (made a huge difference). Soundwise, I’m very happy with the result. Is it not possible to include a filter that stops “tagging” Recycle/trash bin?

The reason for the recycles bin is that I use of the drive with Mac and sometimes with Windows for tagging, as it is a lot faster than working over the network. I was getting mad, finding the root cause of a lot of strange folders, sometimes only with a dot and no names. I’m buying a lot of HighRes from Qobuz and they come with all the correct tagging, but not with a folder.jpg - only with Album_Name.jpg.įunny enough, Volumio also tags the Recycle/Trash bin. I’m missing a lot (or maybe all) of album covers on albums that have them embedded into the Metadata, but no “folder.xxx” included. One solution I have used in the past used an alphabet “slider” on the right. I wish, there would be a possibility to have a way to jump faster down when scrolling a large library. The somewhat unusual strategy of Volumio showing Albums is not so bad, once you get used to it. It’s definitely necessary that the songs are properly tagged. I’m working hard to get my library up and running. And as my library was growing over years, tagged and ripped with different programs, it might be also not the easiest to read and identify. As we use it here every day from the morning to the evening and switch a lot between internal music and Qobuz or Tidal, we might stress it a bit more than usual. In the past, I used a few systems like Amarra and Audirvana on a Mac, JRiver and JPlay on Windows, AURELIC Aries and a Linux based system from a small company here in Germany…so I had all the pain with systems not running stable. The system should drive a pretty High-End setup in my listening room (I’m running a company for designing speakers). The Tinkerboard is only a start, my final system will be a small computer with no fan from MSI with an M2 SSD for booting and internal hard drive for storing music. How can I find out why so many folders are missing in the scanning?ĭo I have to give the files some special rights after I transferred them from my Mac to the USB drive? Is there a way to access the file structure? On Volumio I can go to the library on the homepage, but that does not really show me the structure of my hard drive.
I had a similar problem with the old Linux based system (that’s why I’m looking for a new and better solution), but I could access my music via the file structure of my hard drive and so even files that did not get properly recognized during the scanning, I could play. Some of the music was copied via a Linux system from an internal hard drive, some I did copy via my MAC using Pandorra to access the USB drive.
I understand that Linux is a bit more tricky if it comes down to file names and special characters. I can scan the drive, find a lot of music (it’s 1.5T), but a significant part is not visible. Still struggling to get the NAS recognized, but I did not try hard and so far, I’m using a USB drive with my music. So far, I got the system working on a Tinkerboard and I managed to get Tidal and Qobuz running. I’m new to VOLUMIO…so please don’t beat me if some of my questions sound a bit stupid
