If you want the two to integrate (i.e. create a MM mix from within Slimserver) then I believe they have to be on the same machine. However, I have the same set up as you (MM on Windows laptop and Slimserver and music on Linux NAS) and use the following workround: 1. Point MM at network share and let it analyse music. 2. Create and save mix on windows laptop. 3. The problem is that MM sees all the files as "T:/My Music/file" and Slimserver as "//mnt/share/My Music/file", so the playlists won't work in Slimserver when I rescan. 4. Answer is to run a quick script that converts the "T:/My Music" bit to "//mnt/share" and resaves the playlist in the directory that Slimserver looks for playlists in. I wrote a very basic one, but the most user friendly I've since discovered is at http://www.joejaworski.com/m3u/ 5. Rescan playlists only in Slimserver, and the MM mix appears there. A few more clicks for sure, but nothing that bothers me too much. Hope this helps. -- Siduhe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21106 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
