No, it's actually pretty easy to do what you want. However it sounds like your file organization is a mess, and you probably need to rearrange things to get them to work the way you want with SBS. For the most part SBS doesn't care about your file/folder structure, but if you insist on using 'browse music folder' then you'll have to have it organized.
1) forget about iTunes integration with SBS. You can keep using iTunes if you like, just think of it as separate from SBS. 2) put all your lossless files that iTunes can't handle (FLAC or 24-bit) in one branch of the tree, eg, /music/lossless/[artists]/[albums] or /music/lossless/24-bit/[artists]/[albums] and /music/lossless/16-bit/[artists]/[albums] (NB: I'm using OSX or Linux style pathnames here, so if you're on Windows just adapt them.) 3) put all the things you have only in lossy (eg, MP3) format in a different branch, at the same level, such as /music/lossy/[artists]/[albums] 4) if you have any copies of the things in (2) that have been transcoded so that iTunes can handle them, put them in a another branch at the same level, such as /music/iTunes/[artists]/[albums] If you're on OSX or Linux, put a symbolic link in /music/lossless that points to (3), and put another one in /music/iTunes that points to (3). If you're on Windows, use Windows shortcuts to the folders instead of symlinks. Then point SBS to /music/lossless and point iTunes to /music/iTunes. You should be able to see your entire library in either program, be able to tell lossless/lossy and bit-depth, etc. without memorizing anything. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85989 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
