If you're going to re-image the RPi with Ropieee, do it without enabling XL. This will still work with Roon and it has the benefit of cutting out additional things that might be causing a problem. If you get stuck, you could always post on the Roon Community Forums. The designer of Ropieee is...

This was me exactly 12 months ago, word for word. Thank you for posting.

Whether or not they're a new band is irrelevant. They're producing new music, alongside artists of all ages doing the same.

Just relax and realise that your Technics LP is not the summation of all recently produced music. There's some amazing stuff out there.
