LMS is a very effective server with a decent but improvable interface, where it lacks is playlist management IMO however you can add Erlands plugins, ipeng/squeezecommander, other programs to create static playlists or for windows users look into MM/MS on what that offers. In terms of plugging a USB drive then I guess the only option is to transfer into your music folder then you can play from there without having to re-scan -- 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
