Hi Max, What I'm still puzzled about is what the mpd server should do/does when it finds a playlist in the music directory (in a readable format like m3u)? 1) Should it walk through the the playlist and add the individual 'songs' to the database? 2) Also if the 'song' is a stream? However, with a stream, there is no such thing as 'tags' for artist, album, .... (in best case a name tag in extm3u) The reason I ask is I want to find a nice way to add streams for easy use by the user: ideally, they put a m3u playlist file containing the radiostations he want somewhere in the music directory which will be scanned by the mpd server. Then user gets acces to them over any client (either through the mpd playlist or through the 'song db') Thanks, C. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
