Re: [slim] How would you like to select which music to play ?
What I don't like is going through a lot of effort before listening to the music I feel like listening to. What I do like is Slimserver figuring this out for me. Random mix would be good, but perhaps with a bit more control. What I'm thinking of is this: Start with a random song mix. Then, whenever I hear a song I really like, a push of a button would insert the album containing that song in the playlist, just after that song. When Slimserver is done playing the whole album it would continue with the random song mix. Of course you could quickly scan the random song list until you find a song you like. The trick is to easily switch (one button) to album play from that point. This would be a simulation of cliveb's scanning a wall rack full of CDs in post #15. -- eindgebruiker eindgebruiker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10427 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32202 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] MP3Gain, MP3Tag, iTunes craziness
MrSinatra;183788 Wrote: did u do what jeffmeh said, and use foobar or mp3gain to put it in there? This was done at encode time with the FLAC encoder using the --replay-gain switch. As many have pointed out, it will only do track gains correctly. Usually the album gain gets the same value, not sure why it's different in this case. wouldn't it be nice if EAC simply copied the LAME tag value to the ID3 tag at the time of encoding? But EAC's not handling the ReplayGain calculation at all (nor should it, it's a ripper). The LAME encoder is, and it's doing it exactly the way the LAME developers intended...which no one supports. how did you do yours? did u just add a value in a tag, or did u change the audio file itself? It's just a tag. I would never change the audio in a FLAC file and I'm thankful there are no applications out there that can. is this the kind of thing someone could write a plugin for? or is that not possible if the scanner won't look for that information on library scans? Reading this LAME tag isn't easy. In fact that program you found is the first and only one I've ever seen that was able to do it. I'm not sure why it's so hard and uncommon, but it seems to be. which are in an ID3 tag i take it... Actually MP3Gain writes an APEv2 tag. foobar seems to use an ID3 tag, in a non-standard way at first - I can recall SS needed to be changed to read it. -- Mark Lanctot It's like, you know, a New Age religion, but with better treble response. - Jon Heal Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32178 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] MP3Gain, MP3Tag, iTunes craziness
foobar, like SlimServer, is free, so go ahead and try it out. MrSinatra;183801 Wrote: can i automate foobar to do my whole collection at once? Just load the whole collection in, select all (through Edit - Select All, or click on the first, shift+click on the last), right-click, ReplayGain. There are a series of options to choose from. can i make it so that it will only deal with RG tags, and not affect any other tags in any other way? Yes. and will it write into ID3 tags, or will it create ape tags which i don't want? I believe it writes RG into ID3 tags. Why don't you want APE tags? They work fine in SS. and also what button do i use to simply add the RG tags? The only buttons in foobar are for playback. and which button do i avoid so as not to change the audiofile itself in anyway? foobar does not alter the audio in any way when calculating ReplayGain. It has a lot of functions and if you dig really deep it may have a normalization function which may alter the audio, but you'd have to really look for it. You could not alter the audio by accident, and I may be wrong that it can alter the audio at all. You're thinking of MP3Gain. am i right in thinking that if i do this, SS will affect gain on the fly on playback to the reference 89db level? Yes. All RG calculations are done at the 89 dB level. In MP3Gain you can alter the 89 dB reference, but everything else uses 89 and you can't adjust it. and is there anyway to configure EAC/Lame 3.9x to write the track values into the ID3 tag at the time of ripping? (or ape tag if thats the only one possible?) Don't think so.

Just from reading other posts, it seems that a lot of the performance and other problems come along with the more advanced home NASs that have RAID and such.

[slim] Can't Get Rid of music from shortcut
I'm using Slimserver 6.5.1 - 11206 on Windows XP. I currently keep two versions of music file on my computer. Lossless compressed files are in: C:\My Music\flac\artist\album\ Compressed files are in c:\my music\compressed\artist\album Slimserver music folder is set to c:\my music\flac Upgrading to 6.5.1 caused me to lose the ability to transcode. In troubleshooting that problem, I wanted to play some mp3 files so I created a windows shortcut to c:\my music\compressed\3 doors down\the better life in c:\my music\flac. I then did a rescan which added the files in the shortcut to my library. Now that I have resolved the transcode issue, I would like for the files in c:\my music\compressed\3 doors down\the better life to not show up in my slimserver library. I have deleted the shortcut, but subsequent re-scans still add the files in c:\my music\compressed\3 doors down\the better life back to my library. I have tried the following: -Clear library and rescan everything scans -Uninstall Slimserver, delete c:\program files\slimserver, reinstall -Delete playlists and rescan -Stop Slimserver, delete c:\program files\slimserver\server\cache, restart slimserver -Make sure that slimserver is set to Do Not use iTunes Nothing gets rid of these files.

I officially support the default and Fishbone skin with all my plugins. I haven't looked at the rest of the skins, mainly because I only use Fishbone myself. Typically there is often some special handling that needs to be done for each skin to make sure the plugin works correctly. Supporting all skins available means more special handling which means that I need to spend more time handling skin differences instead of implementing new core features in the plugins. So due to this I only want to implement support for a bare minimum number of skins myself, default is a must since it's the default skin used, fishbone is needed since I use it myself, but I don't think I will be implementing support for the rest of the skins myself. I have said it earlier and I will say it again, if someone provides a patch for a skin that you like support for I would be very happy to include that patch in the distribution. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/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=19369 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
