Gordon, 1) It won#8217;t (do fingerprinting correctly with multi-track FLACs). Another reason to go for single-track FLACs (which I did). Fortunately, SC can play them gapless. 2) Nobody seems to know, but I personally also haven#8217;t heard from Wendell for quite a long time :-( I -hope- they

Andrew, any progress/news regarding MusicIP integration for Vortexbox? I#8217;m currently playing with Vortexbox 0.5 on a spare PC, trying out SC7.4-25724, a custom Jive and MIP headless 1.8. Just wanted to remark that for Fedora/Vortexbox use, it might be wise to modify the '\mmserver\ sample

I never really understood how MusicIP works. I got it running but I couldn't get it to do much inside SC. I'll make an RPM that does what you posted. If you can test it that would be really good. -- agillis rip, tag, get cover art… All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis

Sure, be happy to test :-) You might want to somehow start a -genpuid- run for files just ripped, so they can have the analysis data stored in their tags. I’d recommend not trying to update the -autoload.m3lib- using genpuid 1.4 (it has a bug) but instead store the analysis data inside the

Moonbase: two final musicip questions: 1). Do you know if the genpuid fingerprint tool can work with flacs with embedded cuesheets? I.E. does it know how to distinguish tracks within a flac? And in terms of storing the fingerprint in a tag in the flac for quicker rescan, how does it store the

I load VortexBox into Vmware all the time for testing and it works very well. What Guest Operating system did you select for the VM? You need to use Other Linux 2.6.x kernel for it to work. You will need to use the 30GB option. That way VortexBox will install on just one partition. The default
