I did a full formatting, and changed the SSD’s name.
I guess there is something to modify somewhere in the SSD’s properties, and it looks like windows does not offer any choice at first.
Maybe I should ask for help in some PC forum ?
This Samsung T5 External drive is supposed to be used also as a regular USB drive ?

Just installed on PI4 using my Yamaha CDS-2100 'sDAC and everyting works as expected with all my music files stored on an external M2 SSD!
Congrats
I face the following problem:
UPNP Servers not found
Device running volumio:
DIY X86 PC with Gigabyte Mainboard GA-H81M-D2W, i7-4770K, 16GB Ram.
onboard network, video and audio ( analog out)
Volumio booting from USB Stick. Version 3.114
logfile:http://logs.volumio.org/volumiobuster/nJAMsC1.html
I got the same general network problems i also faced with different volumio 2 and other volumio 3 versions on several older intel platforms: partially network is not working: i’m able to play internetradio see internet pages etc. but UPNP media servers are not shown in the media servers list and/or not found - even not after hours.
Either they are all ( 2+ ) there or none.
But!: I can play from the last 100 list from my (not found !) media servers and NAS. But i cannot choose new albums etc.
It seems it even got more worse with volumio 3.
Sometimes ( but seldom) reboot helps, sometimes using a fixed IP helps.
Usually once it worked fine it continues to work ( at least with volumio 2)
I am using wired 1 GBit/s network only, no WLAN - Wireless is not installed and always switched off.
In conjunction with this i made some tests ( changing from fixed to dynamic IP) and was surprised that all the time i saved the settings there was an error message in red on the upper right corner , telling me that the wireless network could not be restarted although its switched off through the volumio settings.
I use several other UPNP streamers and systems ( e.g. foobar2000 for windows on the same machine , bubble UPNP, YAMAHA MusicCast ) ) and had never issues finding the UPNP server on my NAS - this happens only with volumio.
The Synology DS920+ NAS is always up due to a surveillance video system running all the time and the FRitz!Box router and UPNP server, too as it is my primary Network router and Gateway.
Volumio is able to receive the IP from that gateway when using dynamic IP but the UPNP server on the same device is not found/shown !??.
It would be fine to solve this otherwise volumio is not usable for me on my various X86 platforms.
ADDITION: This is the error that prevents it from starting

Sorry - i am not very familiar with linux and network sockets.
Is this an development issue ?
Can i do anything to bypass this issue ?
Does this somehow depend on the quantity of network devices or streamers online in the network ? I got a quite large network with many devices in my house ( i guess 30+)
Each of my Pcs is a streamer and there app. 10 other devices able to stream that are most of the time online: TVs (4), Audio Receivers (3) , Audio streamer (3), Sat Receiver (2).
For DSP machines 1&2 users. Let’s help the Volumio-team create a new player.
We have adapted our drivers for Volumio 3.
Follow the instructions to connect your DSP to the player:
When trying to install kernel headers on Raspberry Pi 4 with cmd “volumio kernelsource” I get the following error message: “this tool is only available for RPI”.
On Raspberry Pi 3 kernel headers are installed properly.
I tried to replicate your issue, but here wireless static network is stored properly. Would you mind providing more info about how to replicate the issue?
Also can you send a log after you set your network parameters which are not saved?
The wireless network with static IP is saved correctly. When restarting, most of the time it is disabled. You turn it back on and hopefully it works fine in a reboot or two and then it turns off.
Is this description useful? Shipping log?
I tried the new Volumio buster 3RC1 and it worked fine on my Raspi4 with no issue finding the USB M2 SSD!
Unfortunately on the Raspi4100 the new version 3RC1 cannot find the NVMe Samsung SSD so i backpedaled to the previous working version…
The Raspi4100 in a remote room outside of my home worked on a different network but i tried to select the appropriate network it only found the main metwork??? So it’s impossible to find the Source NVMe SSD? Sorry i don’t know how to send a log…
how did you get this interface?

Issue: I have an USB SSD disk attached with all my music. This setup worked fine in Volumio 2.
It is a fresh install, no changes. After I scanned all music, I see all my artists, albiums, etc.
However, when I select an artist, and I get the list of albums (and songs below that), and I then select one of the albums to play the album, I get an empty screen. See the attached screenshot. This is not solved by re-scanning the music from the USB disk.
I can play individual songs.
Thanks,
Sjaak Laan.
Please send logs when it disappears 
I have a rpi3b+ and “hifiberry digi+ pro” connected over optical to a DAC. I installed volumio3 on a new card but I accidentally configured a “HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro” and it worked! (so excited). But I noticed the mistake and changed setting to the same device “hifiberry digi+ pro” like my volumio2 setup. Now I receive the alsa error. Selecting anything now I’m stuck in alsa jail.
Error
Failed to open “alsa” (alsa); Failed to open ALSA device “volumio”: No such device
I rewrote the sd card and picked the “hifiberry digi+ pro” and failed.
I went to settings/system/factory reset and picked “HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro” and it worked until I rebooted and failed again.
dmesg.txt & mpd.log (worked with “HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro”)
dmesg2 & mpd2.log (failed with “hifiberry digi+ pro” setting)
Just wanted to confirm that between Volumio 2 plugins not working with V3, and the native multi-room being restricted to the highest paid tier, there will no longer be a free multi-room option after launch?
I’ll second this request for clarification about multi-room audio. I use the snapcast plugin with my Volumio 2 RPi’s when we have guests or to sync music between the garage and patio, and that’s one of the main reasons I chose Volumio over other players.
But I don’t use the multi-room features daily, which makes it tough to justify the cost of the superstar tier just for that. I don’t mind donating to good projects, but that’s a little steep for only one feature that I would use.
On the topic of the beta, I’ve got it running on a Pi Zero W with a JustBoom Digi hat. Setup went smoothly, and I got the Spotify Connect plugin installed and working. Navigation between pages is sometimes fine and other times just displays a blank page that never populates. A browser refresh usually kickstarts it though.
I encountered the same alsa issue as several others have reported, but it resolved itself with a restart. I have not been able to test the multiroom aspects, as the coupon code above is not working.
hm. I have the same setup (except it’s not SSD), and it’s working normally on the latest beta.
But I have my external drive formatted to HFS, maybe that’s why.
Settings > Playback Options > Buffer before play : seems not effective.
I changed to 20% but I saw no change in /etc/mpd.conf
That is probably because this value is deprecated from MPD v0.21, and is hardcoded to 1s
Good spot! Then we need to remove this option
