I'll second this as a brilliant idea.
The only way i can think of is to fudge it so all your 80's songs have

desired result.
How about putting a year under the Composer tag or something. can be

to not having a true pty to read from.
Try redirecting stdin and stdout to an unused pty.
I've also redirected stderr to the pty as
Also remember that slimserver allows the possibility of multiple values
in tags, with the separator as specified under Server settings
Behavior. You could create genres for 1960s, 1970s, etc. and random

On booting, Slimserver was running nicely in they tray until something
tried to connect to it which caused the lights to go out.
I finally sorted it last night (after several trial and error attempts)
by uninstalling IE7, my firewall and Slimserver and then re-installing
in the same order.
Here's what I use (though I rarely play m4a or aac files), but it does
work for me. You will need to have mplayer installed for it to work,
though. Put these lines in your slimserver-convert.conf file:
Code:
mov mp3 * *

Because if you try to lookup invalid.domain.com using the system
library, you'll block the entire SlimServer for many seconds. What we
do now is:
localhost = 127.0.0.1
single-word domain = use system library for lookup, it's probably in a
hosts file or LAN DNS server, so lookup should be fast.
