Re: [slim] Each new version of slimserver seems worse...
gdg, Maybe you should apologize to the very nice folks here. You and a few others are the ones that make this forum unbearable to read at times. Also as a Senior Member of these forums you should know better than to be so rude. I have only had my Squeezebox for 3 months and even I know that they are not designed to ORGANIZE the music, but be used as a device to playback the music no matter how it is organized. As to your question I have no problem deleting playlists using 6.5.4 so maybe you should go back to the drawing board and rephraze your attitude and question and then just maybe I will post the answer to your question. -- schatzy schatzy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40404 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Each new version of slimserver seems worse...
This is certainly a thread illustrating how not to get help :) In some forums I have participated in, the original poster would have been roasted alive. Folks on these forums are pretty mellow, all in all. I view slimserver as a work in progress (as all software is) It is not perfect but it ain't bad either :) The Squeezebox has been the single best piece of technology I have bought in recent years. It has truly changed how we listen to music.

People, I certainly have become frustrated myself at times with running Slimserver, but this forum has been fantastic. It is not like other forums, and it is important to treat everyone else you meet here as if they are someone that you would like to invite over to sit on your couch and listen to your new Dave Mason CD with you, or whatever you just got in the mail.

Since when was opinion fact you pinhead. Get YOUR facts straight. I've been using the Squeezebox for almost 3 years and am well aquainted with what it does and doesn't do. The biggest beef people had with the first versions of Slimserver was that it wasn't as good as other music organizers (which I didn't bother with because I was mainly interested in the streaming functionality of the Squeezebox and anything else was out of the question). BTW You can't delete the playlist if it was created somewhere else. -- gdg gdg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1122 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40404 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Each new version of slimserver seems worse...
gdg, Sorry to hear about your frustration, but the fact is that SlimServer has never been intended to organize your music. Indeed, the software deliberately avoids modifying any music files at all on your disk, and this has been a conscious design principle since version 1.0. We chose to focus on playback only. There are lots of tools for organizing your music, fixing tags, and so on. If you want us to add features to modify/edit/organize your music collection, that is a debate that could be reopened, and I will readily concede that there are some interesting reasons why SlimServer could potentially become a fantastic tool for that purpose. However, the incendiary manner in which you've started this thread is not a good start.
