Dave, You said that "Browse Music Folder" is the only way you can navigate your collection - I took that to mean that your files didn't have any tags in them, since if they did there are various ways (search artist/album/song, browse artist/album/song etc) you could navigate without using the "Browse Music Folder" option. The unique thing about the "Browse Music Folder" options is that it doesn't use tags or the database scan at all - it just reads your directory & file name structures.
So I'm a bit unclear on what you mean. ANyway,I'm presuming the scan completed and you can now see all of your collection (using one of the above methods)? AFAIK your setup sounds OK (shortcuts etc), provided that the external drive is accessible during the scan - sometime external drives become unavailable (especially USB ones) before a scan starts and then a scan loses everything on that disk from the database. What OS are you using, what SC release and what file types (Flac? mp3?) The appearance or non-appearance of the "Browse Music Folder" option is totally determined by having a valid path set in the relevant SC settings page - so in your case this should point to the folder where your two drive shortcuts are...and I assume this is on your INTERNAL drive? Also, you want MusicIP and iTunes integration turned off to avoid a lengthy, pointless and potentially "damaging" double scan situation... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT RCS 2.2X with Good Vibrations S/W - MF X-DAC V3/X-PSU/X-10 buffer (Audiocomm full mods)- Linn 5103 - Linn Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49315 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
