1) In what order does Slimserver play music files ? For example my music library is structured by artist/album/track. There is a separate directory for each artist, then a separate sub-directory for each album. When Slimserver plays back an album it seems to play the tracks in alphabetic title order. In the metadata there is the facility to hold filename (eg. XXXXX.flac), track title and track number. Is it possible to control the order in which music plays ? 2) How do I set the SB3 display to show the name of the track currently playing ? Whenever I press the next track button on the remote, the track changes just fine, and its name seems to be momentarily displayed on the SB3. But then the display reverts back to the name of the track first selected. Is there a way to make the display show the name of the track currently playing in the above situation ? 3) Gapless playback - how to use it ? For tracks that flow into each other on an album I now understand Gapless Playback is the way to go. I'm currently ripping vinyl to digital (FLAC) and have a number of albums where this occurs. I use Audacity to edit the tracks and insert breaks. Do I simply chop the album side into sections, set a parameter somewhere to Gapless Playback,and leave well alone ? Up until now I have been introducing Fade In and Fade Out track sections with Audacity. 4) Replay Gain - big losses ? I've tried setting replay gain using EAC and Foobar and adjustments are being shown as quite large. For example one album has had all its tracks reduced by over 7db. Does this 7db change relate to a difference between the musics original recorded level and the notional 89db ? In other words was the music ariginally recorded at a 96db level ? How canI check original levels ? Are CDs mastered at more than 89db a problem ?
