I got this issue sorted out with the same program that I use to sync my portable player. The app is called Syncback, it's a pretty cool utility, it allowed me to copy out the directory structure of all files except not copy any of the .ogg files. I set the output file destination to my

Right, well I don't want to get into the logistics of sync'ing my portable, cause ultimately the image of my portable drive works extremely well with a sync'ing tool. But extracting my randoms and putting them into the main slimserver directory seems to be the only way to get around this problem

There may be more elegant solutions, but what about getting rid of the link to the lossy collection? Presumably you have it there for a reason, but it's not clear to me what. Or maybe put the link to the lossy files one level higher in the tree than the lossless collection. -- aubuti

I feared I wasn't making myself clear. I want to access all the random files (the ones that don't have a lossless counterpart) that I have dispursed within all the ogg files, so that's why I added the link to the lossy drive space. Doing this leads to my ability to access all the random files

Ok, I get it now. This is still inelegant, but what about separating your ogg and your non-ogg lossy formats? They could be different directories on the same drive. Then point your link from the ape partition to the non-ogg files. And, for sync'ing your portable, put a link from the ogg space

Hmm, jph and aubuti, thanks for the help so far. I kinda figured something like this would be the solution, although I'm still open to any other options. This seems like it's a feature request, although I'm not sure how popular it would be and I know a lot of others are waiting on different
