The thing that is cool about Tapestry is the control over parameters that you can play with. Add a touch of Dinner Party (theme) here... some Adult Alternative (genre) there... plus some Somber and Pensive (moods) and see what you get. It's fun to PLAY with your music.

One of the forum users has done a lot of work on some tools to help out people who are struggling with MIP integration and some good basic explanations: see http://spicefly.com/content/category/5/16/32/ I have also found that running MIP headless has improved the stability of integration with Slimserver and now Squeezecenter - again a good explanation of what is involved in this on the Spicefly site. I use Tapestry, MP3Tunes smart playlists and MIP, but for me MIP still has the edge, particularly the ability in MIP to define your own Moods which SC can use to produce MoodMixes.

Re: [slim] AMG Tapestry
I'll add a third -- actually, you CAN access AMG Tapestry functionality on your Squeezebox via MP3Tunes' new Smart Playmix (requires a premium MP3Tunes account)main issue for me is the sluggishness and streaming problems associated with using MP3Tunes on my Squeezebox... would be great to have the technology somehow linked in with Slimserver as well.. -- ajh824 ajh824's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41716 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] AMG Tapestry
Fingerprinting is something we're looking into for various things, but we would prefer to do it in as open a manner as possible. But yeah, MP3tunes has added Tapestry playlists since they can easily fingerprint your library on their server. So you can use this now. :) -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41716 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
