[slim] Exclude Directories From Random Play

I have 2 scanned folders that contain FLAC and MP3 files. I also have a 3rd folder that contains childrens music, childrens audio books, educational materials, christmas songs and various other resources. I would like to be able to select these to play when I wish, however I don't want them to

Re: [slim] Exclude Directories From Random Play

Thanks, but I don't understand how that would help - probably just being dense... I have folders 1. FLAC Music 2. MP3 Music 3. Other Audio I would like that 1 and 2 are in the library, but that I could browse to 3, in order to manually select the files. Cheers

Re: [slim] Exclude Directories From Random Play

Yes, I saw how the first solution could work, however it requires that I remember to tag all my material as it's added. The second solution suggested seemed a lot easier - however I did not think it could be done. If it can, that would be great!

Re: [slim] Exclude Directories From Random Play

To be honest when i first ripped my collection of ~500 i did not have the energy or patience for tagging, and hoped the tagging of the ripper db would be ok. Now I've added some itunes, amazon and others, It's getting a bit mad, but I really don't use genres. Hence I did not think of that as a

Re: [slim] Exclude Directories From Random Play

Don't think I am ever going to go through and tag them all, and anyway, i make up different genres based on mood, so when I come up with 80's relaxing classic rock I don't want to retag everything... Thanks very much for the help though, since I tagged all the non music to something and excluded

[slim] PoE

I am trying to power a touch over PoE, and I assume all the devices use similar voltages so I put here in general. The touch has a yellow tipped EIAJ connector, and is 5v. My PoE splitter has a black tipped EIAJ connector for 5v. They look exactly the same. The black one will not fit in the

Thanks, I looked at that first which sort of game me the idea, and as I am networking a new house, I want to get a PoE switch installed. Until then I really wanted to check proof of concept by doing this, and the other thread does not specify the type of power jack that is used. I just can't

[slim] Track vs Album Art

Hi, I keep all my art embedded in the MP3 files, so as I move them around devices they all work. I notice from time to time that a track is missing cover art, so I decided to sort it all out. I went through a list of all tracks with no art by simply searching for all files in windows explorer

[slim] Album List Group By Artist

Is there any display mode / plugin which does select album,artist from albums order by artist,album. so I would get ABBA: ABBA Arrival The Visitors Adele: 19 21 etc... When browsing lists of albums, I would rather they were grouped and sorted by artist. Not a biggie but I thought perhaps
