I do have a Squeezebox Touch, but you're right - I don't normally do any browsing via this, since the album collation and metadata in muso is "correct" in my terms, but in LMS it's not - because I've edited attributes in muso and not the underlying tags. Most people will want to get the tags right and have both LMS and Muso reflect them, so won't be doing much (if any) attribute editing within muso. It's called a "Synch" with LMS because it can also push ratings back to LMS, but other than that you're right it's an Import. I'm puzzled how you get duplicate tracks in Muso after editing then synching - it uses the track file path/name as the key so unless you have moved tracks physically I don't see how this can happen - could you send me a screenshot with an example? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
