Scenario 2 is exactly what I'm looking for. I use a Mac as my main computer, but all of my development experience is Windows. I don't really want to fire up a Windows VM just to edit a couple new audio files. I'd ideally like to avoid a full rescan since I run slimserver on an ARM-based NAS, so a full re-scan takes more than a few minutes (I've got 7000+ tracks).
The problem I'm trying to solve is this: I've got a few scripts running on my NAS that automatically record programs, download "podcasts" (they're podcasts, but I want to grab the original songs out of them and keep those in my library, and sometimes they don't have the full set of tags) and that sort of thing. I don't mind if I have to manually launch a "check for new tracks" service, but ideally I'd like to be able to do it from the squeezebox, not have to have a full graphical UI (if I have to clean up some tags, I don't mind those having to wait until I load up a web browser). The other problem I have is that if I download tracks (e.g. from Amazon) it is very cumbersome to put them into the right spot (a script could take care of that) and adding them to the library takes more than a few minutes (I've seen cases where it's taken somewhere between 15 minutes and several days before it's available). PERL I can figure out (I've been actively avoiding it for about 10 years now, but it looks like I might be out of luck now). I just need some help with the plug-in side of things. Could you point me to a fairly basic plugin that might be a good starting point (the less it does the better)? Thanks.
