Posted this under the comments to the BeagleBone Black Music Player article as well. I consistantly get error(13) permission denied when I attempt to mount music files from my VortexBox. /etc/fstab file modification: //[url="file://\\192.168.0.105\storage\music\flac"]192.168.0.105/storage/music/flac[/url] /mnt/music cifs guest,_netdev 0 0 Attempts to mount using the command: mount -a result in the above error code. I need help to figure out how to mount the VortexBox files. Thanks to all in advance!

Hi guys, My first post and glad to be part of the community. Been lurking here a while now. Some advice would be great. Currently I use a vortexbox appliance to serve music and also the vb mpd player connected via USB to my audiolab mdac. It's all good but I kind of feel that the server and player should be separate boxes based on the assumption that the less the player has to do the better for sound quality? so I was contemplating one of the following: 1) mini itx based player - Linux based using mpd 2) raspberry pi using volumio, but concerned by the USB/Ethernet shared bus 3) beaglebone black with volumio which gets around the rpi bus issue but I understand the clock cannot natively handle 44.1kbps since it works in multiples of 48kbps only Questions 1) am I wasting my time? Is my vb combined server/player going to be as good as separating the functions into different boxes? 2) is the bbb considered a better option than rpi? 3) most of my music collection is 44.1kbps (cd rips) so I expect that the bbb would upsample to 48k and thus present a non bit perfect stream? But if I'm outputting to an async USB dac, is this relevant? Thanks Edit Should have posted this under 'music servers'... Sorry
