Thank you very much!

Excellent write-up !
This worked for you then  ? https://www.snakeoil-os.net/forums/Threa...75#pid7375

No, this bug is not fixed yet. Snoopy8 just give me a hint which I used and completed the code with the missing record. 
I found the remaining parts on the Ubuntu server forums. I put everything together and wrote it to make it easier for newbies like me to install snakeoil, which provides great sound, without any problems.

Well done.  Thanks a lot, pal. 
BTW, how did you find the difference in sound between these 2 versions of SnakeOil?

I can comment on the differences in the sound of the different versions of MPD. On newer version of MPD the sound is less aggressive, with a wealth of details and more black background, with each new version of MPD the control over the entire range improves. The sound is even closer to analog tape and becomes less tiring for the listener. To hear these differences depends on the system you have, starting from the power cables and ending with the speakers.

That's cool.  Thanks a lot, pal. 

Thank you very much for this guide, after several years and many failed attempts I was able to install again Snakeoil and activate my account.

It sounds great running MPD but one problem is keeping me awake at night, maybe the solution is not complicated but I don't know what is the cause of the problem.
