I'm fairly sure that SS can cope with absolute paths in playlists, though at least one version I had early on interpreted different paths to the same file (e.g. "C:\Docs etc\..." and "\\My Served Music\...") as two different files, so if two playlists used different paths to the same file, I'd get two listings for it in SS.
This stopped me from sitting in the living-room listening to one playlist whilst making others on the laptop using the network path to the server. (Memo to self: must sort out remote desktop stuff for non-Professional XP ...) While I'm here, I'll put in a plug for one of the features of SS playlist construction that I *really* like: the ability to click "x" on an artist, album or genre and have all matching tracks removed from the active playlist. So if I decide I've had my fill of Yes after all (or, more likely, if my wife turns up - she can't stand 'em), I can remove them all with one click (OK, and some navigation) but leave the rest intact. One thing I'm less happy with is that if I'm part-way through a shuffled playlist and add some more stuff, then the whole thing is reshuffled, so that things that have already been played come up again. Then again, I wouldn't want it just to add the new stuff to the end of the list. Maybe what I want is to be able to set an option so that tracks are removed from the active list once they've been played. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31399 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
