Disclaimer: I haven't tried this! But...
If your server is linux-based or *BSD-based, then FUSE [1] might come to your rescue. There's a FUSE-based filesystem called CDDFS [2] which allows the audio CD to be 'mounted', and the tracks appear as WAV files. So you could just select an empty directory in your music library folder as the mountpoint. This would (of course) only be a starting point, as it raises more questions than it answers: - slimserver would index the virtual WAVs into its database - you probably wouldn't want that - no track metadata, and titles would probably be something non-descriptive like "track001.wav" [1] http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [2] http://castet.matthieu.free.fr/cddfs/ -- mflint 'GoalRush , LiveDepartures and ArtistPlaylist plugins' (http://www.insignificant.org/wiki/index.php/Slim_Plugins) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mflint's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2102 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41577 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
