Since reading this comment I've been doing a bit of playing around with Muso, but am still scratching my head. If I edit the tracks in Muso, then only Muso seems to know about it, in other words the "sync" with LMS seems to be more of an import than a sync. Furthermore, after editing tracks/albums in Muso and performing a sync, I often get duplicate tracks, which I have to manually edit in Muso (or make the changes in the original files, rescan in LMS, clear the Muso database and re-sync). Also, if I allow Muso to automatically create Group Headers (from custom Opus tag) and then make changes to the original folder tags, I again get duplicate tracks after sync'ing. One useful thing that Muso has helped me do is to clarify my thoughts on tagging conventions and to cause me to make my tagging consistent, so I am making quite a lot of ad-hoc tag changes when I play an album that needs tag improvements. Since I use LMS from Squeezebox Touches and an iPod touch as well as from a Windows PC, I need to maintain the underlying LMS db as well. So it seems to me that the only approach I can use is to get the tagging correct in the underlying files, scan into LMS and then synch into Muso. If this affects tracks for which Muso has already created its own metadata, then I either have to manually delete the duplicates or clear the database and re-sync. Maybe I am being stupid and missing something, but if you are using Muso as the primary db, then surely you can't be using LMS directly from any devices? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MDE's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49291 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
