You all have missed it I first go to the directory delete the physical file
Then go to Sam and do a verify songs it will show the song that I just deleted and says it removed it from the database Then I go to generate playlist in Sam and do that everything works fine But for some reason Sam will when generating playlist it will still have the song listed even though it has been removed from the database and physically deleted. Also I have found a few security flaws that I will email to Louis off list to prevent any problems for anybody Bill Curd Hope Radio Online 270-589-1737 - -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Grampa Al Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 6:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [General-discussion] playlist Tony Partigianoni wrote: > Bill, > > Sam's VERIFY function is non-destructive. > > It merely removes tracks from its database that are not found at the > file location SPECIFIED. > > Thankfully, it doesn't know about any other music or tracks on our > drives unless our scripts or playlist are adding music from > directories rather than from categories. > > Cheers, > Tony > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Curd" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2007 1:45 PM > Subject: RE: [General-discussion] playlist > > >> Don't think you understood my question >> But thank you for answering >> >> >> Bill >> >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [email protected] >> [mailto:[email protected]] On >> Behalf Of >> Grampa Al >> Sent: Monday, October 22, 2007 7:15 PM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: [General-discussion] playlist >> >> Bill Curd wrote: >>> I was wondering if you remove a track or whole album from Sam then >>> verify >>> songs then regenerate play list >>> >>> >>> >>> Why does it not remove the old tracks that no longer exist >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> Bill Curd >>> >>> Hope Radio Online >>> >>> 270-589-1737 >>> >>> www.hoperadio.us <http://www.hoperadio.us/> >>> >>> >>> >> My first guess is that you are building/regenerating your playlist >> drawing from a _Window's directory_. Any new material placed in the >> playlist not already in a _SAM category_ will be added to SAM's >> "Music(All)" category, as if it were a new song (which it is since you >> removed it from SAM's Categories. SAM category is not a Windows directory. Ergo deleting the song from a Sam category does not remove the song from your hard drive/directory. Therefor if your playlist draws from a Windows directory and not a Sam category, you end up putting the file back into Sam as Sam automatically adds any file that it can't find in it's DB. There is a way in Sam to completely remove a file and that is that last option found after you right click on any given file. That will not only remove it from a Sam category but also delete it from your hard drive. After questioning you if you really want to remove the file from your hard drive. I don't think that is what you want. Sam categories are not Windows directories. Hopefully I understood your question this time.
