I must have assumend something that is not so about Slimserver 6.x and MySQL. I kept installing new versions of Slimserver and adjusting my wireless network until I finally got something to work reliably for my insallation, and then moved on to other projects and just listend to my music never to messed with it again, and it has been fairly stable ever since. Now along comes AppleTV. Darn! If I want to use the same server for both my music (Slimserver) and video and photo, I need to upgrade to iTunes 7.x. I use iTunes 7.x on my other desktop and laptop, but I still use iTunes 4 on my music server. I still 10.3.9 installed on that computer, and all I use it for is streaming my music. I read some of the postings on Simserver 6.x and briefely on the MySQL integration, and I have read some (little) on MySQl, but not enough to really understand the difference in operation (if any). I just assumed (yeah, I know all the assumed sayings, and they may apply here ;) ;) ) I guess I assumed (there's that word again) that the integration of Slimserver and iTunes and my music library would be much different using 6.5.1 than what I'm currenlty using. If MySQL does not take over the organization of the music library from iTunes, what does it do? What are the advantages of the MySQL orgainzation over previous methods used in Slimserver? Is there a FAQ or something that explains all this somewhere? Thanks ever so much for any help or guidance, I'm really just trying to understand so as to make the most informed choices and inplementaitons I can, with as little disruption as possible, yet, still make a change.
