turmon, this may very well be the case. I was going to reply and disagree with you because I have the "exact same setup" on my G4 tower where this duplication is not occurring... but I realized that my setup there is subtly different in exactly the way you're posting.
Specifically, on the G4 tower, my files are stored on an external hard disk, /Volumes/LACIE/Music ... however, my home directoy music folder (/Users/cepheid/Music) is *NOT* aliased to the external drive. Instead, I have told iTunes (via Preferences) where to store the music, but I still allow it to store its database and other info in the usual home directory music folder. In SlimServer, I have told it to use iTunes and specified that my music folder is /Users/cepheid/Music, which has NO music files so there can be no duplicates if indeed SlimServer is behaving the way you surmise. On my laptop where this duplication bug IS occurring, my music is in /Users/cepheid/Music and both iTunes and SS are accessing it there, so it's very possible that this is why the duplication occurs there and not on the tower. I have been too lazy to submit this to bugzilla but it looks like perhaps I should, since this seems like it could affect pretty much anyone who uses both iTunes and SS on a Mac. (Incidentally, the reason that my home music folder isn't aliased on the tower is because SS refuses to start up if the folder specified as the Music folder in SS is an alias... SS doesn't seem to like aliases. I have not tried using a symlink rather than an alias, though from your post I guess that appears to work.) -- cepheid ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cepheid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3845 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25388 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
