If you want to want to synchronize your whole collection as mp3s to your phone, mp3fs is the simplest way to do it (and you wouldn't actually have two formats of the same track). The only manual operation would be to search/replace flac with mp3 in playlists. However, for me, this isn't an option since my phone doesn't have enough storage to hold my music library even as mp3s. I've therefore written a script to - search a playlist for all referenced music files - copy the mp3s to the destination folder (preserving hierarchy and tags) - convert non-mp3s to mp3s in the destination folder (preserving hierarchy and tags) - normalize the volume of the mp3s - copy covers to the destination folder
Combined with 'mounting my phone as a folder' (https://github.com/whoozle/android-file-transfer-linux/), this makes synchronizing music from a playlist to my phone a single fully automated operation. However, in order to use the script, you'd need to - run it from the command line of a Unix-like system (Linux, MacOS (probably), ...) (your NAS may qualify) - install a few SW packages (python 3, ffmpeg, mp3gain) SW: 'Web UI for LMS' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?98186-Announce-Alternative-Web-Interface-(beta)) | 'Playlist Editor / Generator' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108199-Announce-LMS-Playlist-Editor) | 'Music Classification' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108278-Announce-Essentia-Integration-music-classification-(moods-genres-)) | 'Similar Music' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108495-Announce-LMSmusly-play-similar-music) | 'LMSlib2go' (https://www.nexus0.net/pub/sw/lmslib2go/) HowTos: 'build a self-contained LMS' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?99648-Howto-build-a-self-contained-LMS) | 'Ogg Opus' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107011-Howto-play-Ogg-Opus-files) | 'Bluetooth/ALSA' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107230-Howto-Bluetooth-streaming-to-from-LMS-(ALSA-only-no-PulseAudio)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roland0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56808 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109346 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
