Hi,

I'm new to squeezebox.  I recently installed a duet and am running
sqeezebox server 7.5.1 on a file & print server running under Debian
Lenny to which a number of work stations are connected.  Things are
working ok, but when installing squeezebox server the settings menu
would not would not allow me to define my music and playlists folders
as they are on the Debian file server (which never functions as a work
station).  For security & backup reasons I put data in /opt/data on the
Debian server.

Settings via the browser refuses to see any data files there at all,
let alone my mp3 and m3u files.  I assume this is because the authors
of squeezebox server and/or maintainers of the Debian package are
following some strict rules for Linux file systems since /opt is
supposedly for non essential packages and not for data.  So to get to
my music I had to copy everything to /home in order that squeezebox
server see my music and lets me play it via my received & controller.

Since mousing around on the wiki I learned of the server.prefs file
which I see has 2 interesting (to me anyway) lines:

autodir: /home/<my user name>/Music
playlistdir: /home/<my user name>/Music/Playlist

These are, of course, the 2 folders I created and copied my music to in
order to be able to access it.

Does anyone know if I can safely modify these 2 lines to refer to my
original music folder in /opt and then restart squeezebox server to get
things the way I would like?

Thanks for any assistance or ideas on this

Richard
