Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Album Tracks Spread Across Different Directories
While I understand what you are saying, I would likely handle the different releases by creating a different album title... As an example: Michael Jackson - Thriller Michael Jackson - Thriller (1998 Reissue) Michael Jackson - Thriller (25th Anniversary Edition) I know many people (including myself) that separate tracks based on whether they are Lossless or Lossy... And I have some CDs that I bought that come with bonus tracks as lossy downloads... So to keep the integrity of my system/structure, I have the songs split between the lossy and lossless directories (doesn't make sense to have a lossy file in a lossless directory, right?)... iTunes and other players have always handled these situations as I would expect... I don't want to call it normal...I guess because it is what I am used to, and the players I have used in the past behave this way, I just assume that SC should behave that way too... -- MikeekiM SqueezeCenter Running on HP EX485 MediaSmart Server (WHS) - 1 SqueezeBox Duet - 4 SqueezeBox Booms MikeekiM's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19937 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67444 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Album Tracks Spread Across Different Directories
While I understand what you are saying, I would likely handle the different releases by creating a different album title As the snarlydwarf indicated, this is the Greatest Hits issue. For cases like that, it would be obvious that there could be clashes of album name, and thus when tagging the album, you could change the name to Queen Greatest Hits and Squeeze Greatest Hits. But that isn't always obvious. eg. I have album name clashes (same title, completely different artists, genre, etc), that I would not have thought about initially. eg. I have two albums called 2, two albums called Blue, three albums called Planets, etc. The correct thing to do is to assume that files in different folders are different albums. There is however a way to get the scanner to realise that tracks in different folders are part of the same album, and that is to add COMPILATION=0. Not sure if this is intentional, and whether it will always continue to work in the future, as it is a bit of a frig. The presence of a compilation tag tells the scanner to join the songs together, but setting the tag to 0 tells the scanner that it is not actually a compilation album. ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Album Tracks Spread Across Different Directories
I completely understand where you guys are going with this... However, I think there needs to be more intelligent way of using the meta data that is there for our use and abuse, rather than count on the directory structure... I have friends that simply dump all their music in one big music directory, and let the application use the meta data to sort through it... People are building directory structures by genre or artist or album... heck, so me might even sort by BPM... To assume that everyone keeps all their albums in a single directory might be too much of a leap... If we simply exploit the meta data to filter the data (across file directory boundaries), I think we have a fantastic solution... Some examples: Primary Search by Artist - If I seek out Michael Jackson, then show me all the unique albums that are from Michael Jackson. And if his Greatest Hits album is cut across lossless and a lossy directory, ignore the file structure... why should any normal user be bound and restricted by what should be a back-room infrastructure? Primary Search by Album - If I seek out Greatest Hits, then allow me to perform a secondary filter on artist... Again, ignoring the back-end infrastructure of file directories, etc... -- MikeekiM SqueezeCenter Running on HP EX485 MediaSmart Server (WHS) - 1 SqueezeBox Duet - 4 SqueezeBox Booms MikeekiM's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19937 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67444 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Here's what I see: - Napster plugin is disabled on local SC - Napster was installed from test.sn.com and 'Display on home menu selected' for SB Touch. 1. Napster didn't appear on Touch's Home menu until I rebooted the Touch. 2. Napster does appear under My Apps. 3. When selected under My Apps, I see a screen about being subscribed under the 30 day trial, but nothing about switching to mysqueezebox.com server. If I 'Continue to Napster', I can browse Napster content, but when I try to play I get a blank NP screen showing the title, no artwork, and no audio output. 4. When selected from the Home menu, I get the 'switch library' screen and can switch to mysb.com. Then I get the screen about the trial account. Navigation and playing work as expected. If I remove the menu selection from the Home menu at test.sn.com (again requiring a reboot to take effect) and try again from My Apps, I get the same behavior as before in #3 - it doesn't offer to switch to SN and can't play audio.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Information Browser - issues browsing BBC News
I've noticed recently that whilst browsing BBC News stories using information browser, occasionally the SB3 screen will change to show locale strings, such as PLUGIN_INFOBROWSER. eg. whilst scrolling down through a news item (eg get to line 62 of 120), lines 1 2 would suddenly change to plugin string constants, and I'll have to left-arrow out of the BBC News and go back in to see the content again, and start scrolling through from line 1 of 120 again.

[SlimDevices: Beta] New MySqueezebox.com (test.squeezenetwork.com) site layout
1. The Home page looks like it was drawn with crayons. Everything is gigantic. Logos, icons, fonts. A little too much white space also, which combined with the large page header and the giant scrolling service icons pushes the main page body down (and probably off for some people) screen. The other pages are fine in their font and icon sizing, but again the white space and large header take up too much space. I find myself scrolling some pages up a little to see the main content. 2. The pages are set in a fixed width, but it's about 30-40 pixels too wide to fit on a 1024 pixel wide display. You shouldn't have horizontal scroll bars at that size. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67501 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
