I don't think you ever said why you just don't tag the files and be done with it. Unless you're using a format that doesn't really support tags, such as WAV. If you can write a program to populate the database, then you could likely find a tagging library or utility to just as easily let you transfer that data to tags in the files.
But I have to agree with you... It would be nice if SlimServer could be set to not muck with the library data except when explicitly told to do so. That way we might write our own library scanning utility and not have to worry about the data being changed by Slim Server when we're doing something as (seemingly) benign as browsing in one of the user interfaces. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23061 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
