SlimServer uses the date that a file was last modified for sorting New Music. Normally, when you move files or copy them from place to place they maintain the last modified date. When you rip a CD and encode the file, you're creating it new and the last modified date should be when you ripped it. If at a later date you tag the file using some tagging software, the last modified timestamp will generally be updated. Some taggers let you maintain the old timestamp so that when you fix or add new tags to existing files you can keep them from bubbling to the top of New Music. You can also get creative if you have software to modify the last modified date and times, and set them to whatever you like. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43093 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
