You need a structure of this kind: Music -/Lossless -/Lossless/FLAC -/Lossy -/Lossy/MP3fromFLAC -/Lossy/MP3 SC -/SC/main Then, you put: >all flacs in /Lossless/FLAC >all files converted from FLAC in /Lossy/MP3fromFLAC >all MP3 originals (not from flacs) in /Lossy/MP3 For your iPod: you'll have to import /Lossy directory For your Squeeze Center: you create two shorcuts in "/SC/main" directory: one to "/Lossless/FLAC" one to "/Lossy/MP3" you change the Squeeze Center music library directory to "/SC/main" Hope this helps. -- Themis SB3 - North Star dac 192 - Denon 3808 - Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Themis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14700 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53988 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
