Michael It's an honor to have your reply to my question. You are indeed a Supra-Genius! I will have to take a deep breath and upgrade to LMS8 to study this Library Import feature you speak of. I'm assuming you mean my Spotify Library, right? That said, I also stumbled across another possible work-around: I also wanted my "Buzzout Room Radio" available in the car. Thus I found a website called SoundIIz (soundiiz.com) that allows you to take a Spotify Playlist (yours or any others') and convert it to a YouTube playlist. I then use a program by MediaHuman called YouTube to MP3 converter that will download and convert YouTube Playlist to MP3. A big hit to my monthly data limit and some automated downloading later I now have the Buzzout Room playlist downloaded locally where I can play them from the Raspberry Pi's attached 4 TB USB drive. Here's the discovery: When I create and play the Buzzout Room Playlist using local media (attached USB Drive to LMS) it can successfully shuffle all 1547 songs in the playlist. If I could only get my minivan to do the same. It will only see 500 songs per folder. Yes, that's outside of the scope of this forum, but I've had a right amount of coffee this morning to feel communicative and socially expressive! Anyway, back to the LMS local media: I suppose the way it "requests" is different. How I'd love to spend a month in your brain, Michael to learn how you do what you do! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ noexit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66502 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112994 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
