[PROBLEM] Moode Showing Multiple Tracks, & Cannot get Permission to Write to USB Disk

[suffolktony]

Hello folks,

Thanks to previous helpful members I finally got my RPi 5 Moode up & running, but there are a couple of problems - 

1. I've attached a USB SSD, which Moode reads OK but, for reasons unclear, although there are only single files for each rack, the Moode library is showing multiple copies of each. I've tried clearing the cache, rescanning etc., but the result is still the same.

2. Although I can see the Pi, USB drive, and music files over my Mac's network, I only have permission to read, with no option on the Mac to change this. I've ticked all the file-share options in configuration, to no avail. Disc is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), but I've tried using another HD formatted as FAT32 with the same result.

Any help would be much appreciated. I'm not good with this modern computery stuff, so please be gentle...
