Yes I currently have LMS set up as intended. As I said the Playlist folder works but I can only choose one folder in the settings -- therefore I can only browse the contents of one folder on my player. The Music Folder breaks everything out by folder (playlists and files) but I cannot select an m3u file without the "Cannot Request..." error. Again all I want is to see playlists (only) broken out by folder, by whatever method (and I still need to look into the symbolic links suggested by reinholdk).
Files are pretty well tagged, I spend a lot of time doing that. But I really only use tags to tell me what is Now Playing, that's about it. I don't use them to browse. And I think it's very difficult to remain consistent when you have a lot of files. For example, in my Artists folder, I may see: The Beatles Beatles Beatles, The ...which can be corrected with MP3tag or something but it takes a lot of time once you hunt down all your Beatles files. Then you remember you did it a different way with The Who... Whereas in my big "Rock" playlist folder I could have the following which is super easy to make fixes to -- and note some files will appear in multiple playlists, which you can't do with tags alone. Beatles -- Abby Road.m3u Beatles -- John songs.m3u Beatles -- Revolver.m3u Beatles -- White Album.m3u Beatles -- various mono mixes.m3u V/A -- favorite British Invasion.m3u Anyway I'm probably stating the obvious here. I think the point is it's good to have flexibility. Some prefer playlists and some prefer the various tag attributes. It drives me nuts that I have to do all kinds of acrobatics just to get my media server to list things the way Windows Explorer does (by folder/files). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ M7CC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62373 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100769 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
