Can i add an extra NO to that.
Even if i wanted my server to be able to modify my finely crafted tags

able to compete with MP3tag etc. I have an iPod and use iTunes, but i
always use MP3

You don't give up hold.add for play next when Playlist Manager is
installed, since it currently only works on the Now Playing list.
If/when it's added to browse menus, I guess it would have to be

into mp3Tag (E.g. to edit the year on all tracks) so convenient. At any

True. Are you saying there is a way to zap a whole album with the
Classic remote?
No, I'm not sure how it worked with IR. I don't really use playlists
much/ever, so have probably accidentally zapped stuff but never
realized it created a playlist.

I've had exactly the same problem when gardening. Why should I have to

I think it was the 'zapped' playlist, which was meant to be holding

I think SC is on the right track, by not allowing any modification of
music data. Think of all the extra checking that would have to go into
the plugin interface, for instance.
I too would -really- like a needs attention list - and the ability to

I did vote for the bug, but still think a simple zapped key press combo
(if there are any free ones) on the Controller would be a valid feature
request. Not sure if I'd want to give up the hold.add for play next
feature though.

I am sure this has been asked a thousand times before, but I need to

do this. I changed an

Hey JEJ - I'm with Skunk on this.. but no-one ever called me stupid
before. Having worked hard to get the 'right' tags on my music library
for over 8 years now, I certainly don't want SC getting anywhere near
them - nor do I want it displaying something different to what I
carefully typed in.
SqueezeCenter does not and will not edit your files. This has been
stated many times by the development team. This is something I agree
with as well. There are hundreds of tools to do this. And they do it
far better than SC would do it without many, many months (actually
probably years) of
