What's good about Foobar is that from it I can open the containing folder of any file, even if it's on the network, and also edit tags directly, even in a file that's currently playing, without having to open the folder it's in if I don't need to. I tend to cruise my music collection (79,000 tracks) from Foobar, and I use the Foobar foo_out_upnp plugin to send Foobar's output to LMS. The only drawback with that is that the plugin doesn't send the metadata of the file that's playing to LMS - or in any case if it can I don't know how to do it. That would almost be better than being able to send a file from LMS to Foobar. But that's another discussion. _______________________________________________________________________ Logitech Media Server Version: 8.0.0 - ARCH-AUR-GIT.20200807.1a544e3 running on Wandboard Quad, music library on USB HDD Squeezebox Touch plugged into run-of-the-mill stereo rig via Musical Fidelity X-Act, extra speakers in kitchen, basement, and bedroom connected by ordinary (not unidirectional) copper wire. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lestrad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40857 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113145 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
