I rarely hand select my playlists any more. My collection has gotten too big, and Squeezebox makes it too easy to "discover" tracks I've forgotten I have. Most often I use MusicIP to generate playlists based on the "acoustic fingerprint" of one or more "seed" tracks. Kind of like Apple's "Genius" mixes, but better in my opinion. Then I may tinker with what MusicIP has created, adding/deleting/re-ordering tracks to fit my tastes a little better. Unfortunately MusicIP is no longer actively supported, but there are a lot of users around here who can help. I found this wiki article essential for getting it up and running with LMS: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Integrating_MusicIP_with_SqueezeCenter . Fair warning: it does take MusicIP a long time to analyze all your tracks the first time.
Beyond that, any music software that can read your music files and write .m3u format playlists will work. Foobar2000, MediaMonkey, J River Media Center, Winamp, Songbird, the list goes on. I am not sure if iTunes will write m3u playlist files, but I think it will. You can also make playlists using LMS, either through the web interface or through one of the SB players, although LMS's playlist creation interface is pretty awkward for most users. There are also 3rd party controller software solutions, such as iPeng, Squeezepad, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95248 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
