Hi everyone,
Please let me first say that I am very much enjoying Moode audio. Very happy with the general sound quality and the effort put into making the distro.
Now, I do have a questions which I was hoping that fellow Moode users could help me with?
I have added an SSD in my mercury stramer (which a Pi 4 (4gb RAM) with dac/external board added to it) and copied into my music library.
To add the SSD and the get the music recognized, I have connected using SSH and run the below commands:
1 Confirm SSD location: /dev/nvme0n1p1 ==> SSD
2 mkdir /mnt/SSD ==> creating mount point
3 mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/SSD ==> Mounting the SSD
5 Add the following line to "/etc/fstab" /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/SSD ext4 auto,user,rw 0 0
=> Mount automatically the SSD at boot
4 To add as a source from MPD software: sudo ln -s /mnt/SSD /var/lib/mpd/music/SSD
Doing the above, I can get the music listed in library and and play the music.
When playing the title, I can even see the album art.
However, when I do browse my library, I get the below...
No album art is showing...
I understand this is being managed by the thumbnail generator but:
It seems the OS has access rights to arts as they are visible during play.
Maybe there is the mount point to add to some configuration file?
Moode audio forum seems to not allow new registration at the moment...that is why I am trying here with my fellow Mercury users.

One more question, the streamer uses the HiFiBerry Digi+ pro driver for the audio/i2s device.
I have the impression that when I select fixed level output (0db), the sound is clipping....
I tried also null and seems to be the same.
I am using as source either the SSD hosted files or UPNP from mconnect installed on my Iphone to stream QoBuz.
Many thanks in advance for letting me know your thoughts!
