I don't know what you mean by checked. If you mean scanned by Slimserver then there is a plug in which allows you to scan once every 24 hours. If you keep loosing albums it could be because your ripping software isn;t tagging the files properly. KevinW Wrote: > The SlimServer, on the other hand, seems to be trash.

I do have an issue with the fact that some of the advanced features are poorly documented, but the software works perfectly for me. I just rip using EAC and encode using FLAC in one pass directly onto a Windows Small Business Server which has around 8 clients accessing it during the course of the day and it runs 4 Squeezeboxes perfectly. Audio quality may not be a priority for you, but it certainly is for me. Perhaps if you changed the tone of your post, explained your problem in detail someone might dive in and help you. What ripping software do you use? How are you encoding your files - and what format? How is your music organised? I've been waiting for years for networked mp3 players to come of age and Slimserver together with the Squeezebox 3 does everything I want to and because of the nature of the Open Source software it will continue to evolve as users require and add more features. -- timmorris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ timmorris's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4147 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22627 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
