I disagree on the elegance issue. ITunes does a perfectly adequate job on the burning/tagging/album art finding/file management front (it's just too bad they chose to go with a proprietary format). Sort of a devstudio/eclipse vs vi/gdb thing, I guess :). As I age, I seem to like ides more and more.....
This setup fine for me, but I don't think I'd want to tell my mom to do it. I couldn't get foobar or tagtuner to manage my directories the way I'd like, but I'm sure there's a way to do it. As far as the burning goes, I think there's some FUD around this. Earlier this year, I wrote a little app that would read in two directories, generate an md5 of each file's contents, and complain if any of the md5s for matching files were different. I then ran this on 2 directories consisting of 20 cds each, one done by burning from eac, the other transcoded from apple lossless via dbpoweramp. Once I got the flac levels right on both, I got no differences. Clearly there will be some sometimes, but..... Anyway, thanks for the help. I guess now it's just time to find a tagger I like, which hopefully will do what I want with the file structure without too much hassle :) -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30888 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
