I agree. I, too keep my music info in a database. That database is conveniently and automatically built and maintained for me by Slimserver based on my tags. And if I move my files or want to use them in another application the data is automatically used in that application as well. It reads my tags and builds another database that it understands. And if I want to change the data, I just change it in one place--the tags--and it's automatically changed in all the various apps that use my collection... Seriously, though, if you absolutely must have your access DB how about trying to go the other direction--grab the data from the SQLite (or MySQL) db that slimserver builds and build an access db from it. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24093 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
