Yes but it's got a few gotchas: 1. Don't use playlists in folders with tracks 2. Don't use nested folders (with tracks). 3. even though you browse by folder you should still run regular scans before browsing the folder 4. Some releases of Squeezebox Server are a bit buggy WRT folders. iPeng will always show all your tracks but it will handle folders like albums if you respect #1 and #2, that is, you can e.g. play the whole folder from track x by tapping track x and things like that. This does not work with nesting, that is, if the folder we talk about contains subfolders or playlists. #3: There's a bug in SBS 7.4 and 7.5 (not in 7.6 beta) that generates faulty artwork for tracks and albums if you scan a folder by browsing it instead of doing a regular rescan. The biggest issue is that these faulty artworks get cached so you have to do a clear and rescan to get rid of them. #4: Some versions (don't know which ones) of the server count other, not shown files in the folders (e.g. PDFs) so it can happen that if you tap track x the folder will play from track y instead. Apart from that: Context menu information (e.g. Artist info or Album info) is not available from folders so you will not have these additional options in the folder context menu. They are still available for the track but a folder for SBS and iPeng is a folder, not an album or an artists. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78531 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
