I have a collection of radio, and audio books which I would also like to exclude from the music scan. I only ever access them from the Browse Music Folder. I like the idea of having a per-directory hidden file that instructs slimserver how to behave See

I logged a bug on this issue. In slimserver 6.02, I had my Xmas music and movie soundtracks outside my music folder, but I created playlists to access the files and could still play them from the UI. Using this method, the tracks never appeared in Random mixes as they weren't visible in my

Assumedly this is only a problem when you're playing random music (i.e. you can just not play Christmas music in other situations). Why don't you just give your Christmas music the genre Christmas, then use Random Mix and tell it to exclude Christmas? Max Yannzola Wrote: I don't think

SS doesn't care about the offical MP3 genre list. But I believe it is a bit flaky at picking up genre changes on existing files. Have you checked the re-tagged files have the correct genre in SS? James NOTICE: If received in error, please

I'll go back and have a look at the tags iTunes put on these files. Annoyingly, if the file has ID1.1 ID2.x tags, iTunes will only update the 2.x tags. I then have to go into winamp and use the Copy to ID1.1 button to synch the tags. So why do I use iTunes? Well I think it's got the most

If I recall correctly, pfarrel is a *nix (freebsd) user. He meant change the permissions on the music directories using the Unix chmod command, so that the slimserver process would not have access. You can do similar things under Windows. You can change permissions on a folder so that the

I didn't really want to move the folders up a level but I guess I'll have too. I couldn't find a security tab under folder properties even though I do have WinXP Pro. Probably because I use simple file sharing or whatever that option is. Still, I think it would be handy to have a server
