Slim Server is far from perfect and is especially weak on the setup front for a novice or consumer. I think this is made worse by esoteric requests by customers in the forum who "don't get it."
The nightlies of the past few months have required some tweaks compared to versions prior - many threads about previous behaviors being broken. That's something that should be prevented in full releases by some type of migration tool as part of the installation process. But for all intents and purposes, if your music is properly tagged, it shouldn't matter where it's stored or how its filesystem hierarchy is set up. Having to have good tag data isn't an overbearing requirement in my opinion. Slim Server already includes support to make up for poor tagging or otherwise obscure tagging and storage organization perpetrated by its eclectic customer base. No solution will be perfect when you have such dissimilar practices in place by the customer base. The best course of action is to keep from introducing backwards features and oddball changes to accommodate some of the customer whims. The compilation support in the 6.5.x is a good thing toward making the Slim product line consumer-acceptable. There's a long road to go still before Logitech can make a success out of its Slim acquisition as it did with Harmony. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31716 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
