I'd like to access the music library from my desktop with my Raspberry Pi, and I'd like to do this via Samba/cifs.I did the following:Set the folder Q:\musik as a shared folder on my Windows machine (which has a local IP of 192.168.1.2), accessible (read, execute and show folder contents) to any user. It appears as musik when I look at the network panel and look at the name of the windows machine.Open a terminal and type the following:mkdir mountmusiksudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2 mountmusikThis results in the contents of musikbeing shown in mountmusik. However, there are things which don't work as I'd like to: Plain txt files appear to consist of whitespace, with the exception of theer unreadable characters at the start of the file. I'm not sure if I omitted vital information when I tried to mount, or if I should have granted a broader access on the windows machine.Edit: It turned out that there were several issues at work. The mp3 files did not play because I was using a non-functional mp3 player program. Now, playing mp3 files works like a charm since I swapped to VLC after installing mpg123. This was my main issue, but I'm keeping up the question because the txt files are still not able to be read properly and jpg files are not able to be opened.
How do I mount a Windows folder with cifs on Raspbian
