Hi Chad, Hope you are enjoying your Boom! To get your JRMC ratings into SqueezeCenter, you will need Erland's Custom Scan plugin. Then go into the settings for Custom Scan and enable the Rating Tag module.
Mine is set like this (but I use MP3 - not sure if it makes a difference): Include in automatic scans and "Scan All" - Checked Scanning order in automatic and "Scan All" (1-100) - Blank Write ratings to slimserver - Checked Rating tag name: RATING Max rating value: 100 It sounds like you may already have the SQL Playlist and Dynamic Playlists plugins set up. I'm not sure if you need Trackstat as well, but I have it installed. I think you need it if you want to see your ratings on the display and in the Web UI. Another plugin I have found very useful since starting this thread is Philip Meyer's Playlist Manager - http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39371 I'm using this now instead of the "Zapped songs" playlist for when I want to change the rating of a song up or down or when I notice bad tags or a messed up file. It's a little bit of maintenance to import the playlists into JRMC, make changes, and then export them back out to the SC playlist folder, but I only need to do it once a week or so, and it beats writing down the information to change in JRMC later--like I used to do. By the way, by using keywords in JRMC and the SQL Playlists and/or Custom Browse plugins in SC, you can do some interesting things. For instance, I use a special keyword in JRMC for the music I know my husband likes. Then I used Custom Browse to create a Browse menu of only those artists, so when he is around I have a much smaller list to scroll through to find something he will tolerate. I also made an SQL playlist that selects songs based on his keyword and my ratings so I can easily start playing a mix of songs I know we will both like. Since JRMC writes keywords to the file's comment tag, these are scanned in by Squeezecenter without the need for another plugin. Hope that gets you going, but post back if you need more help! -- MeSue Sue http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50901 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
