[slim] Re: Can you change album or track names after ripping?
sounds like you need to edit the tag information that is encoded within your FLAC files. In which case you need a tag editor: there are many, but here is one commonly used (and free!). http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ Download, install, change any tag info you like. You may need to tell slimserver to wipe its cache to make it re-read the info.

Try Server Settings - Rescan Music Library with the 'clear library' box checked. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-view.co.uk ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks. I had just tried renaming files, then rescanning (with clear library checked), but it didn't work. I'll try the TAG editor. -- Triggaaar ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I use the program MP3Tag, which allows you to view and edit all the tags in single directory of tracks. It fully supports FLAC files. After making changes, make sure you have slimserver clear the cache, and rescan your files. The program is free, and available at http://www.mp3tag.de/en -- sleepysurf aerius i, nht sub two, yamaha rx-v1000 (pre/pro), sunfire cinema grand 200 ~five (vertically bi-amped), squeezebox2 (streaming cd-quality audio), 300gb buffalo linkstation (remote flac audio file storage), blue jeans cables.

Cheers sleepy (appropriate name, that's what Ceejay had recommended :)) That's done the job perfectly. Now to decide what to do about multi disk albums. I could change the track numbers and make it all one album, but I'll try and give this serverbehaviorgroup disks thing a go. Not sure if disk title should include (Disc 1) at the end or not. I'll experiment. -- Triggaaar ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It all depends on what you want, but I decided to make the initial CD formatting be a minor concern with how my library is structured. I am not strictly consistant, but I usually renumber the tracks and consider a two or three CD album to be one big one. OTOH, I often split classical albums apart, because they often have works by two composers and I often don't like the pairings. So I'll have separate albums for the Beethoven part and for the Bach part. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'm not sure what the server setting does, but if I follow the names on the database, the disks are treated as individual albums, with a disk number attached - which is a bit pony. I've just used that editor to change the track numbers. Cheers -- Triggaaar ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

This is easy to do with MP3tag. -- JJZolx Jim ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
