iTunes does not speak to the players. In fact, itunes has little or no awareness of slimserver or squeezebox at any point. Slimserver loads the data that is stored by itunes. This includes the tagging that it uses, locations of music files, playlists and whether or not the tracks are disabled in itunes. > Not sure of the whole process. > Can I just open Itunes, create playlist and send it to one of two > slimp3s I have? You can create playlists, and if you have 'use itunes' set to yes in the slimserver server settings, then the server will load the itunes data and the playlist will become available as an option in browse playlists. > > Just trying to figure out the relationships between them all. Slimserver is a music library manager, just of a different sort than iTunes. If you prefer the iTunes interface, then slimserver allows you to work with iTunes and then having slimserver use that data instead of or in combination with its own. You can also download an iTunesUpdate plugin that will export slimserver activity back into iTunes, such as number of plays of a given track. -kdf _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
