Thanks for the reply. I'm changing the tags, filenames and directory names also. Another good example is 'unknown artists' - vortexbox doesn't always match on tags so I have an album ripped as unknown artist which then gets converted to mp3, I'll then re-tag etc. this but not normally prior to the cronjob running, have just checked the mp3 folder and there are 6 'unknown artists' albums :) I'm guessing my options are 1) When editing flac files that rename folders/filenames then duplicate and update mp3 files as well 2) Periodically re-mirror the entire flac collection to keep in sync 3) Don't run flac2mp3 as often to make sure I've edited the tags correctly 4) Turn off vortexbox auto ripping and use dbpoweramp to make sure the tags are 100% correct first time As you say, the deleting of mp3's may cause problems for some people so can understand why its not there -- socistep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74979 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
