I'm in the same boat as you. The directory names that itunes chooses can have characters embedded in them which, in my experience, can cause slimserver to refuse to show album art. So I changed them in my flac tree. I still let itunes manage the mp3s, though. I suppose the best answer there might be to make the flac tree however it needs to be, use a script to generate the appropriate mp3 tree, and simply stop having itunes organize its directories. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Thinking further, I guess this will be necessary in order to manage playlists in any sensible manner. -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31502 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
