This may or may not be of use to you as I've no idea how well/if Windows emulation works on a Mac, however:
I've done all my tagging using mp3tag and the allmusic script that dan be downloaded from the mp3tag forum. What this has in effect allowed me to do is to tag and save all the metadata that allmusic uses to describe an album, viz. albumart Review, Rating, Genre, Year, Styles, Moods & Themes. Whilst all but year and genre are for all intents and purposes useless within slimserver, you will at least get the correct year and consistent genre information. I still have it in the back of my mind to develop an add-in/ separate application at some point that builds a relational db from this lot or augments the slimserver db, exposing this metadata and allowing you to display it and use it for generating playlists. My thinking is that if I do get around to it, it will likely be a standalone application that interfaces with allmusic.com to retrieve metadata and interacts with slimserver via CLI, meaning it will become an alternative PC based front-end. Ambitious, I know. -- egd http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_transporter.html? >> http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/shopbycable/1800F.htm >> http://www.atc.gb.net/homeamplifier/sca2.html >> http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/shopbycable/1800F.htm >> http://www.atc.gb.net/domestic/scm100slat.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37177 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
