Re: [slim] Favorite SBS Browser Interface?
For what you're doing I personally use Mediamonkey. This includes the filebrowsing feature you mention, and there's a free version available that's only limited when it comes to syncing content to portable players and the generation of criteria-based playlists. Numerous plugins are available to perform quite a lot of extra tasks too. -- bakker_be http://www.last.fm/user/Bakker_be Main System: Touch; Marantz SR-5004; ' TMA Premium 905' (http://tmaaudio.com/premium905.html); BK Monolith+ FF; HDI Dune Smart D1; Pioneer PDP-LX5090H bakker_be's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30369 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87979 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

You're not going to like Squeezebox Server 7.6 very much. They're planning on getting rid of all of the web skins except for Default and Classic. -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87979 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Favorite SBS Browser Interface?
Thanks. I guess I was cavalier in describing the add-on interfaces to the skins that are included with SBS. I actually prefer the Nokia skin to the Touch skin as it simplifies the search process. I explored the genre mess with iPeng on my iPad. iPeng is able to parse all 800+ genres and indeed, there is room for improvement. I have started the ARDUOUS process of genre clarification and was using MP3tag but found that it lacked the file browser that Tag Rename has. The ability to simply browse folder by folder is a major improvement over selecting the files for MP3tag and then reselecting them once they are loaded. If you need to do what I need to do with tags, Tag Rename is the ONLY way to go. Perhaps I missed the browse feature with MP3tag?

I see two things you may possibly be missing. 1) Load up your library, or a subset, and sort by path. From there you can easily select the files in the same folder and move through the list. 2) This is the real timesaver.

Re: [slim] Favorite SBS Browser Interface?
1. You should distinguish interfaces (what SBS sometimes calls skins) from different frontends. All those interfaces/skins you can access through Settings Interface (Touch, Nokia770, Fishbone, Handheld, Classic, Default, etc) are different presentations of SBS's built-in web server. Frontends like Moose and muso are separate programs. A big reason you should make the distinction is that support for alternative interfaces/skins is likely going to disappear in SBS 7.6.0, as part of the 'onebrowser' effort to harmonize interfaces across different devices. I think then you'll be limited to Default and Classic. It's not impossible that someone will support alternatives (eg, Touch, Nokia770, and Fishbone were all voluntary efforts by members of the community), but I really don't expect to see much action in that area. 2. I don't use the web ui much for controlling my SBs, but when I do I usually use good old Default. For a time I used Touch and Fishbone, but I eventually found them too sparse and too busy, respectively. 3. I don't know why you're getting the 404, but it may have something to do with SBS gagging on that many genres. If you yourself don't know why you have so many genres I suggest attacking it at the source, rather than at the presentation level. Load up your library (or a subset of it) in a good tagging program like mp3tag and sort on genre to see what you have, and then impose some sense on it. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87979 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
