Thanks for the reply Michael. As I mentioned before I'm not a programmer so I honestly do not know how a programmer would go about setting this up so a server would know which songs go together. But there may be some common things that might make it possible to create something that will accomplish what I've discribed.
For example, as I mentioned above, most live recording such as the ones posted on the Live Music Archive denote songs that flow together with a ">" apended to the end of the song title. (For an example see this link http://www.archive.org/details/gd84-06-14.aud.goodbear.sbefail.shnf) If the server can be made to read the tags of a file as it's making the playlist it could then evaluate whether the title of the track ends with a ">", and if so then it would presumably know that the next song on the album goes together with it and could then add it as the next track in the playlist. Another thought would be to set an actual marker at the end of the filename for the track so that the server could search for that marker in the filename instead of the song title. For example: d1t01-.flac The server could look for the "-" at the end of the file name and if found add d1t2.flac next in the playlist. Like I said I'm not a programmer and haven't the slightest idea how one would write the code to do this. But it does seem that there could be certian idrntifying markers that the server could look for whick would tip it off that two songs in the album go together. -- T_T ------------------------------------------------------------------------ T_T's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13332 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38715 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
