/var/local/www/currentsong.txt may be stale - adrii - 08-31-2020
When Moode reboots /var/local/www/currentsong.txt is stale until the reboot process is complete, which can affect other programs that use this file and are running before the Moode startup has completed: http://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=155&pid=24096#pid24096
Perhaps currentsong.txt could be deleted sometime early in the startup process, so it does not exist with invalid details for the full startup.

Sure no prob.
How about if I truncate it to size 0 at the beginning of moOde startup?

Hi Tim
Thanks. Deletion should work with the current mpd_oled code, otherwise I will add an extra test for the empty file.

I ended up truncating the file. You can view the "Improve File check" commit in the repo
