Thre's an excellent beginners guide here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?BeginnersGuide
Your music directory structure, while unusual, will work provided that you use a tagged format for music (like mp3). Slimserver can look inside the file for the tags to find out who sang the song, etc. It's more usual to make a slightly more complex directory structure. Here is one example. directory called music subdirectories of music are artist subdirectories of artist are album individual tracks are in this subdirectory. For compilations, many people use "various artists" as the artist name. The advantage of this scheme is, if you drop a song in that has no tags (perhaps a .wav file), slimserver will try to infer the artist and album name from the directory names. But that's just one idea. Slimserver can accomodate many different schemes. Mostly it's important to be clear and consistant. Cross-fading is possible with the new SB3s, and was possible with the SB2s as well, if you're looking to buy used. SB1s and the original SLiMP3 (hard to get these days) couldn't cross-fade. Hope this helps. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20316 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
