I appreciate your effort in making this program. Some comments:
1. I downloaded the zip file. The link didn't work the first time; it
timed out. The second time, I got to the sendmefile.com site but it
was VERY slow. Then it forced me to stare at the ads for at least a
minute before I got the download link. This free service is annoying!
2. I followed the instructions in your email and placed the unzipped
files in c:\test\slightserver-0.2.
3. I edited the slightserver.properties file with a text editor and
changed the last line to
# music_dir=${user.home}/music
music_dir=c:/My Music/music
I have an iTunes library elsewhere but your format for the path isn't
right for Windows XP (c:\documents...\user\My Documents\My Music. And
the iTunes library is below that level in iTunes\iTunes Music. I didn't
want to try to guess what iTunes folder I needed to point to.
I have a shortcut to C:\My Music in the iTunes library folder. I tried
to point slightserver to the simple c:\My Music folder as a way to get
started.
4. I opened a command line window, changed the current directory as you
specified and ran the slightserver.bat file as you specified. I got an
error message 'The system could not find the path specified. I
attached a screenshot of the command line window.
5. Different versions of Windows had different conventions on placement
of music files and other things. You need to make your scheme work for
Win 98 (original, SE and ME) and XP. And maybe Win 2000. It would be
simpler to let the user browse to the right directory. And you need to
specify which level for the iTunes hierarchy.
6. I realize that this is an alpha release. However, your instructions
need to be better. The process didn't work for me and the instructions
didn't give me any help in resolving the problem.
