Sorry I see that’s it’s Mint. On LMS “Man in a Van” uses Mint. Post there in Linux/Unix

Now, be nice. I have three other systems running Mint. My full size rig, which needs to be upgraded actually, a laptop, which I run headless for a dedicated Roon server and another laptop that was Dad's, that needed wiped. This laptop is running Win11, which I bought to stay up to speed on Microsoft OS, I am a technician after all, lol. Normally, I am quite anti Win/Mac.

Well, I hope you were not waiting on me, but I have decided to give up on this Mate version of Linux and I'm reloading it with XFCE instead. It my first try of Mate and I have been fighting it the whole time, grrrr. So it's gone and I'm starting over on the mini PC project. I will still probably have some LMS questions a bit later, thank you.
Maybe. But at twice the cost! Most would subscribe to one or the other.

Well, you have the time@Brantome
As far as I remember it all started with a version for two pianos named "American Rhapsody". Then Paul Whiteman's orchestra played it with GG as single soloist. They changed the name of the piece in "Rhapsody in Blue" and it became an international hit. Countless versions were played over the years and all could be named authentic. Brings me to a point where it could be fun to re-work my knowledge

Yeah, but I get a pretty hefty Military discount, so the pain is eased some what.
Oh, I finally got that LMS/Linux issue figured out, what a PITA. It's doing the big scan now. I may write up my steps and post it for somewhere, eh?

I'm actually partial to the Bernstein version, from 1959. But I will look up this Michael Tilson Thomas version.I like the Michael Tilson Thomas jazz (original?) version of that too
The initial getting it working as a complete newbie can be complicated - particularly if you adding the complication of a NAS mount to the equation but I think if you persist you will see the value.Yeah, but I get a pretty hefty Military discount, so the pain is eased some what.
Totally must have plugins

Recommended plugins
Radio Paradise - massively better implementation that WHA
BBC Sounds

Playlist Manager
Group Players
Others
AirPlay Bridge - make any AirPlay speaker into an LMS player (AirPlay1 so capped at 16/44.1 but will sync with other LMS players
Chromecast Bridge - similar to above. 24/96 capable but will not sync
UPnP/DLNA Bridge - does the same with UPnP but very difficult to configure with some players. WiiM Mini however is out of the box ish. Will not sync.
UPnP

Agreed. Been a fan since his first album way back and seen him a good few times too.
Even shook his hand when I saw him at baggage collection in Glasgow Airport
My Vinyl copy has turned up but can't play it until tonight.The complete album released today!
Not too bad for the old boys
Waiting for DHL. "Out for delivery"

Naw, newbie, I'm not. Been using, building and fixing computers since the early 80s, in fact. But getting network shares working in Linux has always been a PITA for me, lol. I think it ended up being a combination of questionable NAS user/passwd and the smb security level, all good now. LMS was never the problem and it's looking pretty cool as a possible Roon replacement.

@Achim1811 My new Denon feet arrived this evening, yay! They make the old girl look quite fetching, indeed.

Oh wow, sorry to hear that, sir. I'm not sure what I would do if my Denon died!? I would probably get a Fluance RT-85, I guess.@Brown Sound
All for the sound, forget the optics
Btw....my Denon is RIP. Not a single wire but the whole control board is down. Difficult and quite expensive to get and therefore only decoration yet. A simple and new Thorens fully automatic took over. You know, the tremor
