Whether it's expected would have to be answered by the developers. Is scanning halted whenever a circular reference is detected?

Any opinions? How are you thinking SlimServer will pick up and associate the 2nd artist with the track(s)? Once a file is is scanned, it's scanned - it shouldn't matter how you got to the file. Artist information is generally read directly from a file's tags. Or maybe you're referring to using the file path and Guess Tags. Even if SlimServer currently had the ability to associate multiple artists with a single track (which it doesn't, although it's been talked about), I'm fairly sure that you'll never get Guess Tags to recognize a pattern like /ARTIST1/ARTIST2/ALBUM/TITLE. -- JJZolx Jim _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
