Re: [slim] Certain artists not appearing in Slimserver library with itunes...

I think I've got a similar problem (6.5.2 nightly build). After a Rescan I'm missing 317 (!) Artists out of 951shown before in my database. A Wipe and Rescan increased the number of artists up to 837. Because of the still missing artists I rescanned again and got again a number of 634 artists!

To check you need to go into server settings and file formats. See what's ticked for the FLAC format, for mine I have FLACWAV so the decoding is done server-side but for some reason the server streams pure white noise (no music I can hear) on 24/48. But the SB can play 24/48 client-side with no
