Raspbian 9 (stretch) and LMS 7.9.1, works

Just set up LMS on a Raspberry Pi 3 in the Cana kit and just wanted to document what I did to get it working. It serves FLAC from an external USB drive to my Transporter over Wifi.

OS setup with NOOBS is very easy, especially the Wifi setup, painless.

I followed these directions:

But my Raspbian version is newer:

$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="9"
VERSION="9 (stretch)"
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian

And just required the 7.9.1 LMS version to work. The 7.9.0 gave errors and did not work.

$ wget -O logitechmediaserver_all.deb $(wget -q -O - "http://www.mysqueezebox.com/update/?version=7.9.1&revision=1&geturl=1&os=deb")

I have yet to auto mount the usb, getting the fstab info wrong can (and did) hose a version of the OS.

With an external USB drive, be aware LMS runs as user 'squeezeboxserver', and so won't by default be able to see the USB drive files in the "select the folder with your music' setup step. I'm not sure the best way to fix this (I chown'd them for the LMS user just for now)

Hope this saves someone a few minutes.
