I can see where the support for multiple libraries and "personas" could be used to acheive my goal, however, I don't really see that as a better solution. That would require me to change the way I organize my music (which is used for more than just the my Squeezeboxes.) Also, your method becomes somewhat difficult for someone with a lot of players because one shared folder probably wouldn't do. For example, say you have three players and song A is shared by players 1 and 2 but not 3, however, song B is shared by players 2 and 3 but not 1. And, of course, there's song C shared by players 1 and 3 but not 2. A single "shared" folder would not do. Toss in more players and really big libraries and it could start to get really complex. The only way to manage that with folders would be to start having a separate library for each player which would end up with a lot of redundancy and use a lot of disk space (not to mention making adding music a little more cumbersome.) Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of SlimServer supporting multiple libraries and being able to control which players see which libraries. However, my personal preference is to also be able to filter at the album, track and playlist level for each player. In other words, I want to be able to look at a track and say "I want player 1 and 2 to see it but not player 3. A nice GUI for this would be my "check box" idea. -- jtfields ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jtfields's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1584 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26874 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
