Hi @bigbear2003,
If you are not able to do steps 1 - 3 to create the super-skinny image then just boot up stock Stretch Lite and start at STEP 4.
NOTE: There is a bad link reference in step 3 of the Recipe. Please re-download!
You will need this from STEP 3.
cd ~
wget http: //moodeaudio.org/downloads/beta/r40b6/rel-stretch.zip
sudo unzip ./rel-stretch.zip
Brew a pot of your favorite Coffee or Tea and have some fav tunes playing, the build takes a while

Same issue here.....still haven't solved. I can ssh files to the /home/pi folder of the SDCARD but not to the USB flash drive attached to the Moode Pi itself. All I get is permission denied errors. Tried googling and setting permissions to no avail.

Hi,
Only if other distros that provide pre-made images integrate moOde.
If you want this to happen then post on their Twitter feeds or forums. I'll be more happy to work with them
Maybe start with DietPi and LibreELEC, two Awesome distros!

I'm using a SD card, a Mac and are currently compiling MPD, so I don't know whether it'll all work!
However:
Do Step 1.
Write the IMG file from the zipfile via etcher.
Connect the PI over ethernet.
Boot the PI from the SD card.
Ignore Step 2.
Step 3:
1. Write the image file contained on the USB stick to an SD Card.
2. Insert the SD Card into a Raspberry Pi and POWER UP.
3. Change the current password (raspberry) to moodeaudio and the host name to moode.
login locally:
pi
raspberry
passwd
sudo sed -i "s/raspberrypi/moode/" /etc/hostname
sudo sed -i "s/raspberrypi/moode/" /etc/hosts
systemctl enable ssh
systemctl start ssh
sudo poweroff

Hi Tim, Is STEP 5 necessary?
Seems killed it (not able to boot) after STEP5 with something like VFS: Unable to mount root fs ....
Personally I've ignored the resizing and just ran:
sudo cp ./rel-stretch/boot/config.txt.default /boot/config.txt
sudo poweroff
Hi,
I just tried to provide a potential work around for you and if it does not work then you need to fall back to the Build Recipe as written.
-Tim
I guess so.
Just wondering why we need to resize the partition? I guess we want to create 2 partitions, 1 for OS and 1 for storing the music?
Hi @bigbear2003,
Partitions are not being created, there are always 2 partitions, boot and root. Whats done in the Build Recipe is to set a specific size for root (3GB). Otherwise Stretch auto-resizes root to the size of the SD Card.
This is important when backing up that SD Card image. Better to back up 3GB than 128GB :-0 Read the Appendix in the Build Recipe.

Hi Bob,
I would not be in control of what a particular distro chooses to release. I can only make the in-place updates and fixes available to them and then coordinate with the distro maintainers. This is basically how all distros work.
There are some changes that always require a new image for example moving from Jessie to Stretch which btw was a HUGE amount of work :-0
If u want moOde to be integrated into a particular distro for example DietPi, LibreELEC etc. then + post on their Twitter feed or forum. I'll be happy to work with them This is the only avenue for pre-made moOde images going forward.

Hi Bob,
After thinking about it, practically speaking I could probably only provide in-place updates to maybe one or two distros. WIP

Hi,
moOde application sources are mostly plaintext PHP, JS and BASH scripts and thus are not compiled.
Have a look at the Build Recipe
