I mean no disrespect to anyone, but it's my subjective impression that while this feature may be desirable for a (sizable?) portion of the casual user base (especially those with families), it's currently not on the radar of the contributing developers. That's not to say the request will be forever ignored (I've seen kdf add many things just because someone asked) but there are other issues that are either more important or more interesting from a development standpoint.
I personally desire such a feature as trivial as it might sound to some. There are times when you have guests around and you don't want to be a rude & inconsiderate host. I have a sizable collection "explicit" songs. Instead of showing off the Squeezebox when guests are over, I usually shut it down and go with the radio or pop in a CD. For me, the playlist workaround is really not a feasible option since they must be maintained manually (and who has the time to keep them up to date?). Mucking with the genre is another workaround but I also use the same files in other applications so this isn't desirable. And I haven't found an official "explicit" tag in the ID3 specs or in the WMA API so I'm not sure how this could be easily supported. Even with adding expanded tag support in SlimServer, new additional features would be required to support flexible use by the database (i.e. smart/dynamic playlists). A possible "application specific" fix would be to maintain a custom "list" of explicit songs and have SlimServer mark these internally as "explicit" during a library scan but I'm not sure how feasible this is. -- bishopdonmiguel _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
