Now about moving the encoded files to the LMS. A simple example is that album art is added to the file. The tagger completes the metadata on the music files which is very convenient when uploading the files to the LMS. It can also tag the files using CDDB but I use MusicBrainz Picard because does a much better job when it comes to tagging (in addition MusicBrainz can organize your digital music library). Asunder has a simple interface but it has many options can encode to many different formats. All the ripping is done using Asunder, a low resource ripper for Linux. When I buy a new CD I want to add it to my LMS. Adding, changing and deleting music files

All software that I used for this project is free and open source.

Finally I provide a tip to debug problems with the Logitech Media Server. In this blogpost I’ll explain how I add and remove music files from the LMS and create a simple backup of your music files. In the meantime however I do need to maintain the LMS. I guess that eventually I have to replace the USB-HDD that I connected to the Raspberry Pi with a better one. What started as an experiment now has become a device I’m starting to rely on. I’m using my Raspberry Pi based Logitech Media Server a couple of months and I’ve grown very fond of it. I wrote earlier about the Logitech Media Server (LMS), open source software that I’ve used to turn a Raspberry Pi into a music server for my Squeezebox devices.
