By syncing with a portable player I assume you are talking about an iPod ? If this is the case iTunes is the easiest way to get this to work.
There are a number of plugins available related to ratings, smart playlists and iTunes, but as long as you are setting the ratings only on the portable player I believe the standard SlimServer should be enough. Ratings ======== - SlimServer will automatically make the smart playlists defined in iTunes available if you have enabled the iTunes integration in SlimServer. The playlist contents will be updated the next time SlimServer scans the iTunes library file. - iTunes Update plugin: Makes it possible to view/change ratings from SlimServer/SB and store them in iTunes - TrackStat plugin: Makes it possible to view/change ratings from SlimServer/SB and store them in SlimServer database plus optionally export them to iTunes. Dynamic Playlist ================ - iTunes Party mix: Makes it possible to launch an iTunes Party Mix directly from SlimServer/SB. - SQL Playlist/Dynamic Playlist plugins: Makes it possible to create smart playlists directly in SlimServer without any need for iTunes. Portable player =============== - No plugin available for this yet as far as I know. I'm personally working on a iPod plugin, but it will probably not be ready for use for a couple of months. Your best bet will be to export the information to an application which can synchronize with your portable player. If you have an iPod then iTunes is probably the easiest way to get this to work. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39111 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
