I've reduced the amount of time I spent 'working' on my SB/music system this year (first born arrived in Jan), 4 main tools I use to reduce the overhead
1) Reliable server - Invested in a HP proliant microserver which is rock steady, quick and quiet 2) Vortexbox - Installed on above, have had for a number of years and reduces the manual ripping/tagging work 3) Erlands plugins - Use ratings/dynamic playlists, 'top rated' playlists form the bulk of background/casual listening 4) Spotify - Use spotify for other playlists and also for music on the go, this has reduced the time needed to get music onto iphone/android phone for in car and on the go music Before I spent quite a bit of time making sure tags/artwork was correct, still had a lot to go but that has dropped down the priority list, I will probably once a month go in and correct new music tags where I wasn't happy with the vortexbox result (e.g. year or genre incorrect) - I've probably spent more ad-hoc time rating tracks in my library however limited time - I prefer now just to chill out and listen to the music :-) -- socistep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91532 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
