wouldn't "random playback of 'genre rock'" still pick them up? 
but i understand what you mean in principle.

interesting.  i'm not an itunes user currently, so i probably
won't do this.

:-)  well, i'm certainly game to take a look, though my perl is slim to
nonexistent.  (pun noted but not intended.  :-)

this i can certainly do.  it certainly seems like i might not be the
first to want/need something like this.

thanks...

one more question:  does slimserver do more than simply look at
file suffix to determin file type when scanning?  if i rename the
tracks in question to "<trackname>.mp3.skip", will they be
ignored?  i realize that this will probably prevent their being
played at all, but currently, that would be the better
alternative (for me)...
