As already stated above the information in the database is taken from the metadata in your music files. If you want to improve the quality of the metadata in your music files, a good option is MusicBrainz Picard which can lookup your songs against a central server and correct the metadata. As for your third question about clicking on a file and playing on Boom / Transporter, I'm sure a python script could be written using pysqueezecenter package (http://code.google.com/p/pysqueezecenter/), accepting a filename and requesting squeezebox server to play the file on a particular player. Someone may have done this already? -- simonl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ simonl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42526 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80458 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
