Nice tip! I never knew that. Copied it to my tips file cuz I'll probably forget how when I need it. I tested it out on a folder and yep, it works... but it adds the files to my library. It will be interesting to see if it goes away the next time my library is scanned. The files themselves not going to disappear as in the case of a USB drive... this was music I had moved to another disk area because I just didn't want it in my library anymore. Could be handy for things like audiobooks where you generally listen only once. -- MeSue SUE 1 Duet | 2 Booms | 1 Radio | 1 Touch | 1 SB2 HP MediaSmart EX470 | Logitech Media Server 7.7.1 | iPod Touch & iPad w/ iPeng Find me on 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue) | 'Twitter' (http://twitter.com/suechastain) | 'Rhapsody' (http://www.rhapsody.com/members/mesue) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91532 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
