I experimented with this and this is actually quiet easy to accomplish. However the practical use is limited. A generated catalog will only display alum art if the machine it is viewed on has access to the SBS server to retrieve the album art. To make the catalog viewable offline you have to write it to PDF. PDF however does not support the links so this will only lead to confusion at users. mps;527515 Wrote: > 2. I have many albums with more than one artist.

Some programs use the TPE2 field for this purpose. If you enable the advanced option 'TPE2 tag is AlbumArtist instead of band' in ACC i believe the behavior would be more to what you expect. mps;527515 Wrote: > The idea is pretty simple.

Can you create a file like that for me to post on the ReadyNAS remote configuration screen (which I have added to the ACC site)? -- SilverRS8 Author of -'AlbumCatalogCreator' (http://acc.vanholt.nl)- for SqueezeCenter '_' (http://www.badkamerpech.nl) SlimServer. 2xSB3, 1xDuet, 1xRadio, 1xiPhone iPeng, Ubuntu NAS + SBS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74452 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
