hey peter and parkmad, i agree with BOTH of you!!! i got more or less flamed when i had posted previously, complaining that the software should work for ME, and i shouldn't have to work for the SOFTWARE. evidently, i didn't roll over sufficiently for the folks here, raise slimserver to the sublime level of my personal demi-god, and bow to it. instead, i asked that the software get fixed, as it is now broken where it was not before, which seems to be blasphemy to the denizens of the slim forums.
peter, if you encode to flac files, metaflac is part of the flac suite of tools that does the tagging. to see if you have it, just type "metaflac" at any command prompt. it'll give you a usage message if it is there, or else you'll see "command not found" or a similar message if not. and parkmad, i agree with you wholeheartedly. i was irritated beyond belief when i had to re-arrange a bunch of data with a script i had to write first, just to please the software. i use a readynas600 to run slimserver, not an intervening pc, so i have limited versions of slimserver to choose from. i have to use 6.5.1.2, as slimserver now comes bundled with infrant's firmware, and i needed a firmware upgrade for various other reasons. basically, i am never going to change anything else on this music server ever again. this last change from 6.2.1 to 6.5.1 was so painful that it ruined any desire to invest even 1 more second of time into it. like you, as i get older, i only care about "what works". i do not care about "spending my free time coaxing functionality" out of computer systems. i have much better things to do. best, -sherm -- shermoid "you are only young once, but you can be immature forever" "life is uncertain; eat dessert first" - anonymous please visit my mcintosh website: http://alumni.cse.ucsc.edu/~sherman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shermoid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=379 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31716 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
