Upcoming moOde 9.0.0 (Bookworm)

[TheOldPresbyope]

Although I haven't had the chance to listen to the pre4 I wrote the image and I briefly tested it. As with the previous pre3 I had to edit the config.txt file and add the usb_max_current_enable=1 command in order to be able to see my external 4TB 2.5" USB powered HD. Also it has to be written in the correct section otherwise Moode doesn't even start.

Could it be a good idea to insert that function by default? I suspect that some users might even decide not to use Moode for this reason. Alternatively, at least, it could be manually activated somewhere in the setup.

Best always to mention the Pi model when you're having an issue. You've variously mentioned Pi 5B and Pi 4B in your posts.

Also, are you trying to boot from this disk or only use it to store music? The Raspberry Pi docs say of the Pi 5B

USB boot is disabled by default when connected to a 3A power supply. Set usb_max_current_enable=1 in /boot/firmware/config.txt to enable USB boot. Alternatively, you can press the power button a single time on a failed USB boot to temporarily enable usb_max_current_enable and continue booting. However, this setting will not persist after a reboot if enabled by pressing the power button.
