I use MIP GUI in Wine and use the archive feature. I have been able to transfer fingerprints with no problem to new installs with the same music files. You do need to reload the archived directories into MIP Gui again but it only takes a quick scan of a few minutes (I have 20000 tracks in MIP) Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 1518987734 @ Sun Feb 18 22:55:43 CET 2018 Operating system: Debian - EN - utf8 Platform Architecture: x86_64-linux Perl Version: 5.22.1 - x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi One SB Touch connected by Ethernet - Denon AVR -1912 Receiver, Paradigm 4.1 speakers SB Classic connected by Ethernet to FX Audio D802C amp and Sinclair bookshelf speakers Two SB Radios wireless ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SlimChances's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=165 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109255 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
