It's probably a good idea to start a separate thread if you like to discuss this further. If you are using iTunes on a Mac you have to use iTunes Update (TrackStat doesn't include the necessary script to update iTunes on Mac). If you are using iTunes on Windows you have a choice. You will need to select which database you like to be the master database, if you like iTunes to be the master you select iTunes Update if you like SqueezeCenter to be the master you select TrackStat. I'm ONLY using iTunes to transfer my files to the iPod so due to this I feel that it is better to have SqueezeCenter as the master database, if you on the other hand are using iTunes to maintain and manage your music library I think it's probably a good choice to choose iTunes Update. The synchronization with iTunes Update is IMHO a lot easier to setup if you run SqueezeCenter and iTunes on the same computer, the reason is that in direct mode it basically just works. TrackStat requires a bit more configuration and manual steps but also gives you a bit more flexibility if you are running iTunes and SqueezeCenter on different machines with different music paths. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39128 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
