Is the server running Windows or Linux? There have been a lot of reports of slow interaction between Windows and 'nix file systems across the network, mostly when SqueezeCenter is running on Windows and the library is stored on a Linux-based NAS. If the server is running Windows you might try doing something like this from the server next time to avoid pulling all of the files across the network to work on them. I just remembered one other way to remove the ID3 tags. If you re-encode the files to Flac then they'll be removed. Any Flac files that I download (some of which have these ID3 tags) I just automatically re-encode to Flac, which also gets them to be encoded using the latest Flac encoder version and compresses them at the compression level that I always use. To just remove the ID3 tags, though, this would almost certainly be slower than using Mp3tag. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47712 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
