Problem I am having, and it was an intermittent problem before that seems to be worse now, is scanning.

When I scan, I end up with 340 albums and 602 songs by 216 artists. Many albums are one or two songs long, despite having the entire album available on the SAN. My Itunes database is correct, and everything is fully playable off of the Mac (that is, I have tested that the music is still there in Itunes with success). To begin with, I have just instructed Slim Server to reference my Itunes file, rather than going through the trouble of mapping the drives in SS (although I can be persuaded otherwise).

Beats the hell out of me why this was needed, but I vaguely recall a forum thread about it. Yes.. I remember the forum thread.. I resisted the initial usage, but I got convinced. I'll need to go back and find it. I'm thinking we should drop documentation of any tags that SlimServer does _not_ support. E.g. Lyrics? SlimServer does support Lyrics tags - which is why they're on the Wiki. They show up on the songinfo pages. Also, do we just document SlimServer's treatment of tags, or should this document common usage. If SlimServer treats v2.2, v2.3 and v2.4 tags identically, there's no reason to separate them, even if 2.4 added some new conventions. Please feel free to split things up into separate pages. But I'd prefer to have the version separation there for now. Documentation of Ape tags would be welcome, although I suspect that they may be treated identically to vorbis comments. Does anyone actually use APE? And has a convincing argument for why it's better than FLAC? Saving a few Kbytes per file isn't it. Is there any way to get the wiki to accommodate wide tables?

If a tag new to 2.4 is used in a 2.3 formatted id3 tag, will it be recognized by SlimServer? If so, then there's no need to document them separately. I haven't tested it, but it should recognize them. Can we just assume that any tags appearing in freeform tagging systems are treated identically? This gets back to my taggins system convention vs. SlimServer convention question. If, for instance, a tag normally seen in Ape files were to appear in a vorbis comment, I would assume it will be recognized rather than ignored. Yes, that is correct. All the freeform tagging systems are the same as FLAC. It seems to me that the SlimServer.com page layout constrains the width of the table.

We've seen some bizzare things, like putting all tracks from an artist, no matter their album into the same directory. I don't doubt you've seen bizarre things, but it seems you can best support the vast majority of users by looking at the directory. Why not do that, and then have an option for those who feel the need to store their files in incompatible ways? Isn't there an albumid tag? Seems you could support that as an alternative to using the directory. Would be so much cleaner. There is - but that's the Greatest Hits problem. We do try and match by directory first - the heuristics get pretty messy very fast. See Slim/DataStores/DBI/DBIStore.pm - and sub _postAttributeCheck for more info. But even as it is you can't represent what you want with tags alone. You have to change at least three options from their defaults, and possibly populate a list of common album names. Then you have to add a non-standard ID3 tag iTunes invented and almost no software supports to your music files, just to get reasonable behavior. All it requires is the addition of the compilation flag, if that album is a compilation. It may be a non-standard tag, but nothing about ID3 is standard. It's much needed in my opinion. And the FLAC, Ogg, APE WMA people have no issues because it's either free-form tagging, or the format has an explict compilation tag. And why are the defaults the way they are? Does anyone really want two albums with the same name by different artists combined? Does anyone want every track of a compilation album to be treated as a separate album?

* Jack Coates shaped the electrons to say... You just paste the URL of the Icecast stream into the Tune In box under Internet Radio in the web interface. Setting up an Icecast server can be a pain, if converting your DRMed tracks to MP3 looks like trouble, you really don't want to know how complex this path is. Take a look at 'Nicecast' for OS X. -D -- jwb I am POWERBOOK thy god.

[slim] Re: Re: Re: Update On White Noise Bacground Issue/Bug
* Neil Cameron shaped the electrons to say... I've just realised that I haven't had an issue since about then; but at about the same time I did reduce the iTunes volume of the whole collection from 100% increase to about 80% to see if it would help. So; one of those actions worked! But which one? Would you like me to put the volume back up and try to repeat the fault? Yes - please. I assume you are using iTunes to alter the metadata of your files, but not Using iTunes in SlimServer? -D -- On second thought, let's not go to Camelot.

* notanatheist shaped the electrons to say... Are things hosted in the southwest? I read somebody lost 2 lines today affecting CA, AZ, NV, and perhaps more. The servers are hosted in Fremont, CA. There was a small issue tonight, what looked like a DoS - I took the opporunity to do some kernel upgrades, and moved servers and services around. Everything should be back up now. -D -- iNoah you know, most free operating systems come preinstalled with their own high horse. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
