Upload music to volumio (on raspberry pi 3b)

Help and Support
1

Guys I’m new to volumio, so please forgive my probably easy question. But for the life of me I can’t figure out using google and chat daddy how I should be able to upload some of my flac files to the internal storage of the raspberry pi.

What I’ve tried:

  • There’s a suggestion to navigate to the music library and drag and drop or use an upload button (both do not work)
  • Tried to connect to volumio through windows explorer - Network and clicking on all 3 icons that for some reason appear (would be a bonus to understand why that is…) In two cases, the webinterface opens. The last one opens some kind of weird music player dialog?
  • Tried to connect using \volumio and it’s ip. however I’m then asked for a username and password. I’m not sure what to fill in there and while searching it seems that my company laptop might not allow guest samba connections?

What am I missing? Thanks!

Since you’re on a company laptop, you might run into permission issues depending on your rights. ( patch windows patch broke guest access) See this thread for context:

If you enter in windows file explorer file//<your-ip-of-the-device>/ it should show the default shares:

If you enter file//<your-ip-of-the-device>/Internal Storage you can create a folder like flac and copy your files in.

Hmm thanks. Unfortunately entering file//[device-ip>/ does not show the shares, but launches a browser with the message “This site can’t be reached”. I have tried to apply the solution in the thread you mention as well, but alas…

Anything I missed?
