Thanks for all the feedback. Assuming I do go with the directory & filename structure
instead of tags, is there an application that will scan my WAVs
& dump artwork into the appropriate folders so that SlimServer
& Telcanto will display it? Any ideas when/if SlimServer might
support MusicMatch’s database – I really
like the SuperTagging. Incidentally, I think it’s
adding some kind of tagging to the WAV files, as SlimServer
is picking up some of the info (including artwork) but somehow confusing the
tags & artwork between tracks/albums. Guess that’s to be expected
with a non-standard tag implementation in WAV. But the MusicMatch
library is representing all the info correctly, so if SlimServer
could use this library, that would be a useful combination. Regarding using FLAC instead of WAV – I can actually
hear a substantial difference between the two. I’m currently using the
original Squeezebox, so I assume I’m relying on my PC to uncompress the
FLAC and stream as PCM/WAV? I’m still a touch confused by all the options
surrounding this. I’ve got a SqueezeBox2 on order, so I understand I’ll
then be able to stream FLAC and have the SqueezeBox
un-compress (inflate?) back to PCM/WAV before feeding my hifi.
Should I expect this to make a difference to audio quality? Which music library
apps support FLAC & will help with tagging – I don’t think either
iTunes or MusicMatch do? Thanks again. |
