install erland's multilibrary plugin. better yet (and what I do), when they buy itunes music, simply copy those files over to your "permanent library". Set it up like follows: x:\my music (top directory for your library) x:\my music\flac\ (location of all your flac files x:\my music\lossyonly (location of all the mp3/aac files you own that do NOT have FLAC versions) x:\someotherdirectory\lossymirror (this is where you keep your mp3 copies of FLAC files. So point your LMS at x:\my music and you'll pick up your FLAC files and the mp3/aac files that are unique. For itunes, point itunes at x:\lossymirror as the library. But then also navigate to x:\lossyonly and do a "directory add" to add all these files to your itunes library. When done, the itunes library will have all the mp3/aac files. Another approach would be to have wife/kids install LMS on their own computer. Give it a unique name in LMS Settings (Wife's Music Library). Then when they want to play their own music, they can go to "my music" then to switch library, then scroll down and select "Wife's music Library". -- garym *Location 1:* VB Appliance 6TB (1.10) > LMS 7.7.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VB Appliance 3TB (2.0) > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.7.1 > SqueezePlay Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controllers: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93971 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
