I stumbled on the answer last night--the answer which had eluded all my previous searches of the resources here, just waiting for me to ask for help publicly. It turns out that SlimServer ignores songs that are unchecked in iTunes. I leave the re-ripped versions unchecked so only one copy winds up on my iPod--I hadn't realized SS would pay attention to that.
BUT at the same time, finding that one song and playing it does seem to have enabled SS to find the album. I did a rescan last night, and now I can see all the songs from the Squeezebox--even though they're all still unchecked. So thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'm glad I apparently don't need them, because I have no idea what it means to retag the files. The other thing: > Don't worry about the bit-rate limiting... unless you are trying to > stream across the Internet. That page says it's worth doing if both your computer and your Squeezebox are connected to your network wirelessly, which mine are. I do often get pauses when I'm playing AAC files, so I think I'll try the bitrate thing--I downloaded the LAME plugin yesterday. Thanks again. -- wakey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wakey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4936 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37991 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
