you have a very short MP3 file ..suggests a binary file.
How would users create these binary files? How do they add the special
tags to tell the Slimserver that they actually point to a file
somewhere else? How do native players on the PC (like winamp) react
when they hit these files?

I wasn't suggesting an implementation, simply
Yes, I'm finding managing a collection of about 7000 tracks is becoming
a chore. Duplicates, missing/incorrect tags etc
But then, so is finding a particular CD among the 1000's I have spread
around my house,car, wife's car.

It's an interesting idea, but not one that I would use, as even though I

cases. As someone who used to run a band website, keeping track of all
the different versions of a given track, even with exactly the same
name, was a

In the greatest hits folder you have a very short MP3 file. (or flac

It has no music in it.
It does have the tags that are relevant to that instance of the file,
