I used to enter new music just like you do. Really miss being able to. Since it works for you, I ran a fresh scan, exposing my music directory as well as MusicIP before I went to bed. Just now woke up in the middle of the night to find the following: Library Statistics Total Tracks: 94,453 Total Albums: 0 Total Artists: 0 Total Genres: 0 Total Playing Time: 6736:29:20 Music Scan Details Directory Scan (1 of 98744) Running 03:52:41 I've rebooted SC 7.3-test (Debian). Am trying again now and will check in the morning(yawn). Thus far, it doesn't look good as "Scan details" only shows the option to abort, no real details. Re: tags. I gather you use the delimiters for a script. MusicIP is flexible enough to show more than the hopelessly inadequate standard tags. I use about a dozen made up ones for jazz and nearly as many for different decades and styles of Rock, ie; "Rock 60s UK" "Rock 60s US." In all, about 160 made up genres. MusicIP passes them all to SC. -- Harry G ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Harry G's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1165 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48422 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
