I've finally succumbed and put a spare SB1 in my daughters bedroom. I
need to make it simple enough for a 7 year old to use and the most
obvious way is to reduce the amount of music she has to browse to find
what she wants.
My idea was to run a second server on my server pc (if that's possible)
Check Erland's custom plugins; The Custom Browse plugin could filter
on genre, so you just add a kiddo tag to the genre for the albums she
should listen to. But now I believe he just has released a Multi
Library plugin... :)

Thanks Guys,
Erlands wiki has details of setting up a kids Squeezebox using a couple
of his plugins. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks to Erlands plugins and setup guide she now has a SB with 1 menu
item that lists all the artists she wants. All I have to do to add
something is put her name in the Comments tag of the files they appear
after a rescan.

I am thinking of setting up something similar for other reasons. I am
curious, when you say rescan, do you have to do a full library
rescan, or are you using the rescan for custom tags in the Custom
Scan menu?
Thanks,

Because her library is filtered on the comments tag containing her name,
I found I had to rescan using 'look for new and changed music' in the
standard Slim Server settings before any changes were reflected in her
library.

bare in mind that 'look for new and changed music' will only pick up
files that have a new modified time stamp, if you tagger doesn't change
the time stamps (this is uaually an option, and a very useful one at
that) then you will need to do a complete clear and re-scan.
