First, overall, the Moode menus seem to be more streamlined than those found on RuneAudio. I typically rip my music to USB Keys and prefer to play them that way for sound quality reasons. However, I cannot find a menu to unmount a mounted USB key. Is it safe to just pull the USB key out and plug in another USB key full of music ? These options existed in the other player.

Second, I was curious as to the removal of the Orion script/kernel tweak (aka as Orion or ACX latency settings). I really thought there was an audible difference between them and you did indicate that you prefererred one setting over the other. I thought the intent with the filters was to put them "out there" and to then narrow them down to the preferred setting. Was this done in a "formal" way so that it was decided to remove this choice. In the RuneAudio player, there were a choice of five settings.

P.S. Your earlier hint to alter AP settings in the hostapd.conf file was helpful. I really do prefer the "sound" with a longer "beacon interval" of one second versus 0.1 seconds.

Thanks for pursuing and sharing the evolution of this player,
Ray
Hi Ray,

The USB auto-mounter (udisks-glue) automatically mounts and unmounts USB storage devices. No need to run any Linux commands.

The "kernel tweaks" were from the original OS that hosted the player. They along with some other things were removed during the 2.5 rewrite as part of an overall effort to simplify the code base. Moode 2.7 runs on a completely new OS (moodeOS) that is based on Raspbian Jessie-Lite. Stock kernel settings are used which, based on the absence of any user reports to the contrary, seem to be working well.
