Re: [slim] Setting up iTunes a little differently - multiple libraries?

I am using an iPhone with iTunes on Windows and a SqueezeCenter running on a Linux-based NAS. I could not use the iTunes integration since on Linux it does not support special characters like German umlauts yet. Therefore I could not use the checked/unchecked option and actually also wanted to pre

Not direct answer to your problem (let me also say that I hate iTunes and only use it because I love the iPhone and have to), but would it be easier to maintain two separate libraries? That is what I so. I rip all my songs to FLAC. Then the songs I want on my iPhone, I rip to MP3. I also only bac

I have the same issue. Here is my solution: I have a single iTunes library with lossless and lower bitrate tracks in it. All of the lossless tracks are checked; the lower bitrate tracks are unchecked (unless I don't have lossless versions). In Squeezecentre settings, iTunes tab, I select the o

I made an AAC version of everything in my iTunes library. Is there a way to tell Slimserver to only pay attention to checked or unchecked songs? That way I can un-check my Apple Lossless files so they won't sync to my iPods and then I could instruct Slimserver to only play the high-quality stuff

I seem to remember there being a box to check (copy files at lower rate) when syncing my Nano. This would allow you to keep the files on you computer at the higher rate and not take up so much space on the player. I don't remember seeing this option when syncing my wife's iPhone. And I don't know
