It's OK, will probably work well for you and if Michael or someone else wants to implement it, there's no problem with that. All I'm saying is that for most people this won't solve anything. From what I'm seeing from the iPeng user requests I'm pretty confident that >90% of all Squeezebox users have never edited their tags. A lot of them have never heard of Foobar and some of them (like me) don't even use Windows! These users download music from iTunes or rip it with iTunes (or whatever else their OS or phone came with) and all the tagging they will ever do is what Gracenote, CDDB, iTunes or whatever else in in the backend delivers as their tags. And then there are some like myself who sometime edit some tags upon scanning but never again because they just won't bother about having every last detail in the tagging right. For all of these people your solution won't help. But at the same time, for most of those users a solution based on advanced search won't help because they won't want to learn how that works, too (I had to collect probably two dozen Genres to get that stuff right for me). For this majority of users a "good" solution is probably a plugin that comes with a set of predefined filters with a simple UI. "No children's music". "No speech". "Classical Music only",... Stuff like that. This is the challenge that will make a lot of users happy. > > Wy it should take few minutes in LMS and days in Foobar? > Because I can set up the query through advanced search in LMS. I don't use Foobar. I don't use Windows. My Music is not on an SMB share. It will easily take a day until I can get such a setup working. And I have no idea how to batch-tag in iTunes. And I don't plan to find out about it (I'm sure there are some Apple Scripts for that). LMS is the place where it's used, if it should be a solution for most users, it will have to work "out of the box" with whatever automatic taggers deliver. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101701 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
