Sharing music files between two RPIs

On the other Pi open Library Config and create a new Music Source.

- Type = Samba (SMB)
- Click SCAN

The dropdown should contain an item like below. Your Pi host name and USB disk name will be different than mine.

RP2/VFAT128

- Select that as the Path. If nothing shows up in the SCAN list then just enter the Path manually
- Enter "guest" for User id
- Enter nothing (blank) for Password
- Enter anything for example "Music" for Name
- SAVE

Return to Playback view then Menu, Update Library
Thanks Tim
