Playing music off a RAM disk, what are your impressions?

The edge that some people do not like in mpd was smoothened.
Interesting device, that ether-regen. That grounding terminal, to me it really does seem to suggest they are on the right track.

Do you have any tracks to suggest? I am looking for something that I can easily A/B.

  1. Add copy and move files to Browse tab, file manager tool
  2. Or add a web based file manager that can be added/removed by user in SnakeOil tab?
  3. Ability to read a playlist (m3u) and add those tracks to Ram Disk
  4. Am using space on SSD in NUC as interim storage to enable faster loading to Ram Disk
  5. With 3 & 4, opens up option of using an autoload playlist to populate Ram Disk when starting SnakeOil
  6. In Music Library tab, Mounted Partitions, wrong unit of measure. eg. showing 2000G instead of 2G or 2000M. 
  7. Is it possible to show the files in Ram Disk and show actual % used in Ram Disk?
Please keep up the good work...
Truth be told ever since COVID-19, I think I have spent less than 40 hours on Snakeoil? That's horrible given it's been nearly 4 months (if not 6). On one hand I'm revamping my network (decided to go full Unifi now), and on the other, work is really draining all the energy I have. Given the circumstances, I guess I shouldn't complain as lots of people have lost their jobs. But year 2020 is a horrible year. It's almost certainly a write off year. Sad

Hopefully I will get the balance right again.. Need to get the new 1.2.0 ISO out, need to get a new IMG for the 8GB model of RPi (64 bit OS finally!)... The website also needs a software update. The TODO list is growing... Sad
