I've come up with an approach to get what I need from my RPi/LMS setup and MusicIP functionality. For anyone with similar interests, I'll share it here.
I use MediaMonkey to manage my playlists. For those that I use with my Transporter, I have a simple program that translates M3U files that MediaMonkey can export into playlists that LMS can use on the RPI. So, I installed MusicIP on my PC. It can send playlists/mixes to MediaMonkey, which I can then export and translate for use with LMS. I'm still having MusicIP fingerprint my music (I have about 9K songs), which will take another couple days. Then, I plan to create a couple large playlists based on specific moods/styles I'm striving for. They'll likely be larger, i.e., potentially 5k songs. Once I get these onto the LMS/RPi, I'll use DynamicPlaylist functionality to use them efficiently with my Transporter. And, while the MusicIP playlists will be static, Dynamic Playlist on LMS will seem random, by mood/mix, since I typically only play 40 to 60 songs at a given time anyway. So, I've accomplished my goal (or will once the fingerprinting process completes and I can create playlists by mood/style), and avoided trying to actually install MusicIP on my RPi. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rlc999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34109 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108682 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
