[SOLVED] SSD Access Issues

[Hwrd69]

First, Let me say thanks to replies and suggestions. I would have replied earlier but I'm not getting notifications and I will have to correct that. Also, while I was waiting on responses I continued to try different work arounds, none of which seemed to work. To respond to TheOldPresbyope, I built both the Moode Player and Volumio SD cards using the Raspberry Pi Imager to build music player OSes. I would assume that it would automatically use the most recent release of the OSes. Also, I believe I mentioned this in my original post, when I first built the Moode Player SD card and ran with it I was able to perform the file transfers via WinSCP as I did on the Volumio SD card to an external SSD. It just stopped functioning, that's all.

However, during my troubleshooting (and I know this is not going to mush useful information) it just started working again. I was able to rebuild my SSD via WinSCP by SSHing all the files. It took forever, but it worked. I hate that I do not know what changed. I also want to clarify that the reason I was comparing Volumio to Moode Player was I would assume that the ability to read/write to the SSD is a function of the OS, NOT the player itself. I now have a new issue that I will make a new post for. Thank you again for your responses and I will refer to them in the future (if I don't forget, I'm old LOL).
