Hi Grant,
Turning on Airplay starts the Airplay receiver on Moode. This allows you to stream audio from any app that supports Airplay to Moode.

Airplay is great for listening to Spotify or the likes from your iPad via moode on your pi.
Mystery Solved!
It turns out I had to name the router in the Source field. Previously (with Volumio) I used whatever I wanted in that field. My router is named Red-State (no offense to anyone intended)... I entered that - entered in all the rest including name and password and I'm in!
Really like the sound improvement with the driver made for my DAC.
Now I'm ready to try to set up the unit a built for a friend. He has a different brand of router . so this should be fun LOL.
Hi George,
I'm glad its working :-) but there definitely is no relationship whatsoever between what is entered in the Source field and what a particular Router might be named. The entry in the Source field is simply used as the folder name that is created under /mnt/NAS to serve as the mount point. This name shows up under the NAS folder in the Browse panel.
The source names that I use most often are Music and Test.
I'm not sure why the NAS mounts were failing for you, but if it happens again send email to me and I'll help troubleshoot.

Hi, The Airplay service is a separate service and shouldn't influence the SMB services at all... but you never know... ;)

4) I'm specifically looking for feedback on whether BBC 320K HLS radio streams can be played by MPD 0.19.15 as has been suggested.
Be sure to read the updated Setup instructions to learn how to make use of new capabilities. The (i) help text in Moode itself provides additionl explanation of features.
Enjoy!

Tim
