1. Make sure you have musicbrainz id tags in your music files, if you do a TrackStat backup on Windows will be possible to restore on Linux. If you don't already have musicbrainz id's in your music you will need to perform a full rescan on the Windows machine after you have added the tags and before you perform the TrackStat backup. 2. Open up the XML file in a text editor and start correcting the paths before you perform the restore on the Linux machine. Please note that the path's are url encoded so if the paths are very different on Linux this can be quite a bit of work. If it's just the beginning of the path that are different the "replace all" functionality of your text editor should work fairly good. 3. Use an external storage and the TrackStat import/export modules provided through Custom Scan plugin. You can use iTunes, MusicIP and possibly Amarok as external storages. Perform an export to the external storage on the Windows machine and perform an import on the Linux machine. Please note that this solution will only restore the rating, play count and last played information, it will not restore the historical information which is also handled by TrackStat. I really recommend solution 1, after you have musicbrainz tags in the files this kind of conversions will be a lot easier in the future. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/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=74160 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
