[IDEA] Question: RSYNC on Moodeaudio RP to keep music files in Sync

[bikerman]

Hello bikerman,

why do you think it is better to sync the data to your players, instead of using the share on your NAS directly?
I use a device with USB 2.0 to share a M.2 SSD in the internal network, and everything is fast, even the update of the library is fast.
Your device has USB 3.0, so there should be no issue at all..

Simply create a NAS-Share under "configure->Library".
Afterwards start a library update, finished.
If you have stored new music on the nas, simply run the "update library" feature in Moode again.

Hi @muddiver
Two scenarios actually (1) when mobile and out of town, I prefer to have music on my MoodePi. On planes, in hotels or locations where network connectivity isn't availbe. (2) In my home. wifi signals in one of the rooms where I listen is not great. I get dropouts on  5Ghz  and unreliable (choppy audio) on  2.4Ghz so cannot reliabe stream. Local storage simply frees me from these concerns.

I am however open to other options I may not have thought about

Thanks
