time to learn to use mp3tag. Great tag editor. You can use a batch action to automatically add something like [FLAC] or [Vinyl Rip] after the Album title for those albums. Better yet, organize your files so that LMS sees only the "best" versions of things. For example, I have BOTH FLAC versions (for home use) and mp3 versions (for portable use) of my files. I keep them all in a library. But they are in DIFFERENT libraries. As follows: x:\music\flac\artists\albums\tracks... x:\music\mp3AAConly\artists\albums\tracks.... x:\mp3mirror\artists\albums\tracks Note that the x:\mp3mirror\ subdirectory is NOT under x:\music. This way my mp3 versions of FLAC files are NOT mixed in with my FLAC files in LMS So on my home music system I set my music library as x:\music (this picks up both my FLAC files and the files that I have only in mp3/aac (no FLAC)). For portable use, I load up my iphones/ipods/ipads with lossy files. So I tell itunes that my music library is x:\mp3mirror\... And then I also manually add the x:\music\mp3AAConly\artists.... to itunes (itunes file menu, ADD DIRECTORY) You can easily use some of the functions of mp3tag to automatically separate your FLAC and mp3 files into separate subdirectories (menu item, TAGS > FILENAME, with correct "mask") ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96361 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
