I suspect that Music Label 2008 does work with tags. At least, the blurb says, "... It can also scan your drives for digital music files." which I doubt would make sense unless it could read tags; and if it can read them, it would be pretty silly not to write them as well. (Hmm!) In the "tour", it claims to be able to fill in incomplete tag data (using CDDB), though whether it modifies the original files, or just squirrels the extra info away in its own DB is not clear. It looks as though being able to handle "digital music on your PC" is something of an adjunct to its main purpose, which is to catalogue ALL your music, whether digitally stored or not. There are hints that only mp3 is supported, though the blurb might be using "mp3" as a generic. I think you would have to look deeper into the documentation (there doesn't seem to be much available without downloading the trial version) to determine how it interfaces to the player. Can you choose which audio player it uses? If so, then it's probably generating a playlist file somewhere then pointing the player at it. (Even so, as has been pointed out, getting from this to something ready to play in SlimServer is still a lot of work - not that I've ever tried!) There are examples of fairly separate tools that can be used to control SlimServer, e.g. MusicIP (though I've had no end of trouble trying to get the connection to work in that particular case!) so it's not entirely impossible that someone could do the same for ML2008. But I suspect that it would have to be the designers of ML2008, and they may not consider this a high priority. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39597 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
