My wish list for Volumio

Volumio Development Suggest a feature
1

Most of the boards (x86) i use come with eMMC and storage…i.e. m.2 nvme or regular sata.

I wish that when I’m using eMMC, i can see the other drives as storage and put large collections on them, while still maintaining the eMMC as the OS storage.

This way i can take advantage of the features on the boards.

On a side note, in previous version i would be able to build a database of music from a NAS and click the 3 dots and click play and it would load up everything into queue and start to play. Now i have to go to each folder and add to queue.

Disk SATA or NVME - format the drive ext4 file format, name it “issd”
Then the drive will be visible in Volumio.

On Linux systems – Ubuntu, Debian, etc. – use Gparted.
On Linux systems, you can directly copy music files to such an EXT4 formatted drive.

Use the program for formatting disks to EXT4 partitions in Windows 10 / 11 and for copying to such a disk in Windows 10 / 11

SATA drive connected via USB to SATA adapter.

Thank you… I’m going to need more directions. Is there somewhere that has instructions on this?

Thanks so much… i got as far as loading volumio on board via SD. Formatting a miniPCIe druve to EXT4… naming the drive. I just have no way of transfering music to it from windows 11.
