hey kdf, thanks for the pointers over to bug database. there's one thing i think i neglected to mention in all the previous posts, however - i am using a readynas600 from infrant technology to run the slimserver program. i download a pre-compiled version of slimserver directly from infrant and upload that image to my readynas. i do not use an intervening PC to run slimserver. i only need the PC to rip and flac-encode cds. for that, i use a linux system and the shell script "abcde".
i do not have access to any source code, and cannot really take advantage of slimserver being an open source product. that's why i kept saying that i have no access to the source code. sorry for the oversight! i believe the best choice here is to downrev both the readynas firmware and the version of slimserver. i can go back to raidiator 2.* from the newset version (3.01*), and use slimserver 6.3.1. the raidiator version that i have already has slimserver 6.5.1 built in, and will not allow me to add on a 6.3.1 version. so, downrevving the readynas will have to come first. as someone pointed out earlier, 6.3.1 will allow for correctly-handled multiple GENRE tags, and won't force me to reorganize tens of thousands of files. thanks again for your help! i appreciate it very much. best, -sherm -- shermoid "you are only young once, but you can be immature forever" "life is uncertain; eat dessert first" - anonymous please visit my mcintosh website: http://alumni.cse.ucsc.edu/~sherman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shermoid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=379 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27746 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
