@Muele I was the same when I first got MediaMonkey way back in 2008/9.
Then, whenever I was at the PC tagging files I would end up playing some tracks using MediaMonkey, while I worked on tagging. The problem was that PC speakers are mediocre and the hassle of plugging the laptop into the Hi-Fi was offputting, to say the least. I found a few scripts on the MediaMonkey Forum and cobbled them together into something that worked for me. It changed the whole experience by routing what ever I was playing on MediaMonkey to my Squeezebox Server and in turn my various players around the house. This was all way back in 2009 and I was using it so often I almost forgot the script exists. Anyway - July 2011 and Ginegernut63, with some small contribution from myself, enhanced the script and got it released as a MediaMonkey addon called MonkeySqueeze for all Squeezebox / MediaMonkey users to access without the hassle of trying to cobble together bits of code from the various MediaMonkey Forum posts. MonkeySqueeze doesn't replace Squeezebox Server but it just means that the program (MediaMonkey) used on the PC for all that tagging, clever playlist creation and the day-job type stuff can finally "talk-to" the SBS and sound good. The bonus, of course is connecting the laptop to the Hi-Fi doesn't need to even be considered an option. I would say it's a perfect partnership and one I had taken for granted for 2 years or so. If you haven't tried MonkeySqueeze with MediaMonkey and Squeezebox Server give it a whirl and see how it goes. I couldn't imagine MediaMonkey without it and it gives Squeezebox Server an extra dimension regarding real-time playlist. cheers mccstumbe (stumble) -- stumble Music Management: Mediamonkey Ver 4.0.01412 Gold Lifetime Music Server: Logitech Squeezeserver 7.6.0 - r32854 AddOns: MonkeySqueeze Ver 1.0.110721 http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=59515 Other Controllers: O2 Joggler (on native OS) running Squeezeplay, Ipeng, Mellorware MonkeyTunes and Plugplayer all on iPhone Players: Squeezebox Duet and 2 x SB Receivers, iPod Touch on JBL OnStage, O2 Joggler with Squeezeplay On Demand Music: LastFM, Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stumble's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31501 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89046 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
