Pi4 MPD Basic Build Experience

[gibbo9000]

Just spent a while getting Snakeoil running in a simple setup:  NAS Music Source across network to Snakeoil on Pi4 in turn USB connected to Topping DAC.  Using Windows Client.

Must admit that while there is some good basic documentation I ran into a bunch of issues (mostly rookie errors I am sure) that took me through much of this forum looking for patches / solutions.  Got quite confused at times.  So for what it is worth attached is a walk through of my experience covering:

1. The target setup
   
2. The short version of what worked - the quickest route to success
   
3. The longer version of what didn't work quite so well - the detiours on the way
   

Rather than put all the detail in text here I have attached as a separate document I can amend / refine to address and questions. etc. - at least for this specific use case.
