I wouldn't have thought that removing the duplicate tracks from 1200 CDs would make a whole lot of difference as far storage requirements goes. Storage is cheap (relatively) so I wouldn't bother personally.
To answer the question, the SlimServer will follow links, so you can create a Windows link or *nix softlink from one directory to another to save the space and duplication. As Andy says, I think the actual space saving it going to be trivial, unless you have lots of "best of" "greatest hits" and similar collections. This raises a question from a week or two ago. If the songs are identical bits, then you can trivially make a link. But if they are different bits, how do you tell which is "better"? -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
