[slim] Still seeing incorrect tags, even after wipe cache
I've got at least 1 tag that seems to be 'stuck' the SS cache. Slimserver can see a track by Primitives and also a track by Primitives, The. I want to get rid of the one by Primitives. Using the web panel, I've checked the file location for the one that says Primitives. It's on a CD called Crash! Indie Anthems. When I try to drill down into the actual track, SS tells me that there is 1 track by 1 artist but doesn't display anything (which is what I'd expect because the track isn't there any more ;-) The track isn't there because I've _already_ corrected the tag (both ID3v1 and ID3v2) but SS is still picking up the incorrect Primitives tag from somewhere. I do a nightly scan of the library, but I've tried numerous wipe cache. But this tag is still showing up. How can I clean this tag? Is there a way to delete the entire library from SS and then run a new scan to get a fresh library?

What OS is SlimServer running on?

[slim] Idea for playlists
I think we can all agree that building and editing playlists in SlimServer's WebUI is not ideal. Just about any player program handles this much better. It would be cool if someone could create a simple drop target program. The idea would be to have a small widget on the desktop which you could drag drop tracks and/or playlists on to to pass them to slimserver. Maybe it could also provide an option to append or replace an existing playlist. Currently I do something like this using MMM as the middleman for passing playlists to SS, but it would nice to have something that is supported by SD and (if possible) faster. Something like this would allow people to use any program they like for playlist management and still have some kind of SlimServer integration.
