If you don't like the tagging that comes with Vortexbox, but you're comfortable with it as a music server, why not do your ripping and initial tagging with dBpoweramp in Windows and then just serve it up from another computer running Vortexbox? Imo, any fussiness of Windows is completely over-ridden by the ease of ripping and getting the initial tagging right using dBpoweramp. Then you can finetune your tags either with mp3tag in Windows or puddletag in Linux.
Squeezeboxes will delight you more and more once you get those shiny spinning discs on to a music server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98057 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
