So if you really want to have manually entered playlists where you have specified exactly which tracks it contains, I would suggest using something else than SqueezeCenter to edit it.
Dynamic playlists are fairly good in SqueezeCenter if you use third party software like MusicIP or third party plugins (Like SQL Playlist or iTunes Party Shuffle). If you are already using iTunes, I would suggest that you continue on that route. There are a number of options available to sync the playlists in iTunes to make them visible in SqueezeCenter: 1. Enabled the standard iTunes integration in SqueezeCenter till will result in that SqueezeCenter will read the iTunes library file when it scans for music files and playlists. 2. Save the playlist created in iTunes as an external playlist file and put it in the Playlist folder you have specified in SqueezeCenter Settings and perform a rescan in SqueezeCenter. 3. Install and use iTunes Party Shuffle, I think it is able to dynamically read static playlists from iTunes but I haven't tested it myself. Any of these should work. If SqueezeCenter and iTunes is running on different computers it starts to get complicated, the reason is that then there is a risk that the paths in iTunes won't match the paths in SqueezeCenter. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) 'My download page' (http://erland.isaksson.info/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57147 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
