Most of the information contained in this thread has been encapsulated in the 'Integrating MusicIP with SqueezeCenter' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Integrating_MusicIP_with_SqueezeCenter) wiki entry and should be enough to get you up and running with Linux (other than the bit about starting MiP before SC). lork;311692 Wrote: > - How do I set up MIP headless on my ubuntu machine?

Let me do some digging and I'll post the answer then update the Wiki entry lork;311692 Wrote: > - As far as I can tell, I will be best scanning my (FLAC) library on my > XP machine, writing the data to the tags, and then moving the whole > library to the Ubuntu machine.

Won't take longer because it's an external HDD. You can MiP for Linux/ Windows or Genpuid for Linux/Windows to do the analysis and archiving. lork;311692 Wrote: > - Can I get MIP to fix all the tags while doing this?

It can fix tags after analysis is complete. You will need to highlight the tracks you want to correct and select fix tags. lork;311692 Wrote: > - Once I've analyzed the library & moved it onto the Ubuntu machine > (with MIP running headless), then what?

It included specific commands etc. that should be of use to you in figuring out which file is the Linbux executable etc. The thread can be viewed @ http://forums.musicip.com/index.php?showtopic=3478 -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
