hey erland- i don't mean to throw yet another wrench into the works, but you need to know that my duke drive partition has one quirk to it that I'm a bit confused by. When I look up the path of the drive it actually lists that partition as 'Duke 1'-even though the drive is simply named 'Duke' on my desktop.
i also have a second symbolically linked folder in my main music folder and that symbolically linked drive partition operates like it should. That drives' partition name is 'Richards' and when I get its path the computer tells me it's path name is Richards and not 'Richards 1.' and all of the music files on that drive also bring up error messages in the trackstat log when trying to export the trackstat info to MusicIP Mixer anyway, as to my scanning setup. I've just recently gotten involved with MusicIP Mixer so I have the slimserver pointing to a music directory. that directory is: /Volumes/Callie/calliemusic and i don't have use music magic selected. so for a complete lay of the land... my main music folder: 'calliemusic' which resides on a drive partition called 'Callie' 1st symbolic link folder: 'duke_music symlink' and that is pointing to a music folder called 'Duke_music' on another drive partition called 'Duke' but which for some reason the computer sees as 'Duke 1' 2nd symbolic link folder: 'richards_music symlink' which points to a music folder called 'richards_music' on another drive partition called 'Richards' and so that you don't think I'm crazy, the thought process behind all of this: when i first set up my server and music library I thought it'd be good to split up my library onto two different drives so that if one drive crashed I'd still have the other half available to listen to until i rebuilt the first drive. of course, now that drives are so cheap, I have my entire library backed up to one large drive so that original thinking is somewhat irrelevant. and that leads me to the question: would it just be simpler (for this particular troubleshooting) for me to combine all of my music into one folder on one drive? I'm hesitant to do it because i'm afraid i'll lose some trackstat info and also because I'd have to rebuild both my MusicIP library and my itunes library. many thanks to you for trying to help me out with this perplexing problem. -- exile ------------------------------------------------------------------------ exile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35931 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
