Apologies in advance for what is no doubt a silly question; I am new to Snakeoil.

I have some music on a USB which I have mounted to /media/music/mnt and I want to experiment with RAM Disk. Once I have copied the files to RAM do I need to unmount the USB to avoid having duplicates in my library? 

I tried to test this earlier in the week but I was doing it from mobile and could not drill down into the ram folder to see what files were copied across in order to see if they were duplicated in the library, however the total number of files in my library did increase after copying to ram which suggests there is duplication.

(Amazing software btw, it has transformed my listening experience - thank you @agent_kith and also @Snoopy8 whose posts led me here!)

Hello Snakeoil crew!

I'm a newcomer to Snakeoil 1.4 and am very impressed with the improved sound quality over my previous tweaked Logitech Squeezebox Touch with linear power supply and EDO applet.

Snakeoil has elevated the sonic goodness of my system - more realistic and liquid sound, greater clarity, less grain. We need to get more people onto this wonderful software! 

My system is as follows:

• Rpi5 running Ubuntu Pro w/real-time kernel and Snakeoil OS 1.4.0
  
• Gieseler Reinigen USB reclocker
  
• Gieseler Kompakt II TDA1451A DAC
  
• Sansui AU-α907MR (Japan-market amp from the mid 90s - 33kg and 160WPC of copper-plated goodness)
  
• Legacy Studio HD speakers
  
• Filled SP121 stands
  
• DIY Connex BL-ag 23AWG solid-core high purity silver balanced XLR interconnects
  
• Canare 4S8 speaker cables
  
• Acoustic room treatment panels
  

For life of me I can't seem to get Snakeoil 1.4.0 (High End) working to do what I'd like it to do. I've tried it on both a RPi4B and RPi5. I have registered it and have the option to install Roon bridge and Upmpdcli  (MPD UPNP renderer). They both install no problem but the Roon bridge does not show in Roon devices and the UPNP renderer does not show up on my network. This is complete mystery to me as I have no problem using Audiolinux or RoPieee or VitOS - they show up and work beautifully. I would really love to compare Snake oil to these. My Hifiberry Digi2 Pro even shows up as an output device...

Hello, Zidoo technology supporter!
Igor Antonov, the Russian developer of the Album Player audio player, has developed a modified ASIO/apscream protocol that allows you to transfer signals from a Windows computer to a system running on Linux. This protocol is very simple and can provide you with wonderful sound.
I would like to clarify that the APSCream protocol is self-sufficient. When in use, there is no need to use additional players or renderers. Supports PCM and DSD512 formats. Both LAN and Wi Fi can be used for network connection.
Download ASIOSCream. Album Player Developer's Website https://www.albumplayer.ru/english.html The Album Player developer's website provides a zip archive containing drivers that are streamed over the local network using the Scrum protocol, or through a direct link https://www.albumplayer.ru/asioscream  .zip
Friends, I strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with this technology, as you may wish to implement it into your excellent player. I am pleased to test this protocol in my system today.
Here is the email address of the technology developer: [email protected] You can use it to contact him. Igor will explain all the features of this technology and be able to answer your questions. I really hope you can succeed, and Eversolo users can reach the next or even higher level of technical proficiency. I am looking forward to your decision. I really want to test the APSCream protocol in my A8.
Please create a firmware for me to add apscream and its automatic startup, so that I can use this protocol to send audio signals from my Win DLNA \ UPnP server to Eversolo DMP-A8. I will start testing it on my system. I believe many users in Russia and other countries/regions will be happy to use this protocol. Due to the high popularity of Album Player and ASIOSCream in Russia. We will be very grateful to you.
