Hiya! I got my Squeezebox a couple of days ago, which makes me the proverbial n00b. It's therefore quite possible someone has already created a plugin which solves my problem, but I didn't find one while browsing the list.
So, here's the deal. I've got 600+ gigabytes of audio files on a Buffalo Terastation NAS. I'd hazard a guess that 60% of them are tagged which means I'm kinda SOL when it comes to adding tracks that aren't tagged properly to SlimServer playlist, right? I mean, browsing the Music Folder takes almost a minute per page. *sigh* To make matters worse, SlimServer doesn't even find all the files. I have no idea why. I deleted all .m3u's from the NAS, disabled library statistics and did a couple of re-scans (45 minutes each, btw), but no luck. Anyhoo, my request is for a simple and quick way to add audio files that are not in SlimServer's database to the playlist (and why not to the database as well!) from Windows Explorer (desktop, not the browser). I can think of a couple of ways to approach this: 1) context menu selection - right-click a directory or an audio file, and you get a choice "add to SlimServer playlist". You know, like you can do with WinAmp, for example. 2) "LAMEdrop-style" - an application which you can drag&drop files into, which then adds those files to SlimServer's playlist. Yeah, I know: why not simply tag those files properly, then do a re-scan? Well, like I said, SlimServer doesn't find all the audio files on the NAS. Also, I'm not too keen on tagging some 10,000+ files, many of which require manual tweaking for proper tagging. What do you think? Would such an application be doable? thanks, :: jimbo -- Jim di Griz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim di Griz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8245 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29199 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
