So I normally upgrade to new versions of "the server" as soon as they're released, but a while back I installed SQL Playlist and am having so much fun with it that it has become essential to my daily listening (I stream to Softsqueeze or Squeezeplay from home to work, all day). Using SQL Playlist I wrote a SQL query that would play me every song in my collection with no repeats, then using Database Query wrote a query that let me know I'm 63% of the way through my collection with 6242 songs left, and that it would take 19.42 days of continuous playing to get through them. This is FUN hearing every single song, and seeing the progress.
And that means, until Erland's plugins are out of beta for 7.4 and there's rock-solid instructions on how to maintain the track statistics between versions, there is NO WAY I am upgrading to 7.4. It has also caused me to send a donation to Erland just now, because I'm not sure if I've done so before and I wanted to show my appreciation. Also: I recently tweaked my SQL playlist (and added a cron job) to include a five minute NPR news update every two hours and The Onion Radio News once a day. I was hoping to spiff those up and release them back to the community; now I'll wait until I find out if SQL Lite has equivalent XML handling as mySQL. I didn't know they were changing databases :( -- thing-fish ' Most Recent Tracks' (http://www.last.fm/user/thing-fish/?chartstyle=basicrt10) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thing-fish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5288 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65439 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
