Re: [slim] Exclude Directories From Random Play
To be honest when i first ripped my collection of ~500 i did not have the energy or patience for tagging, and hoped the tagging of the ripper db would be ok. Now I've added some itunes, amazon and others, It's getting a bit mad, but I really don't use genres. Hence I did not think of that as a way of hiding holiday and kids music. What would you recommend as a good tagging tool? I have dbpoweramp for ripping, and mediamonkey for library management.

I just tagged all the files in those folders to kids and will exclude that. I also noticed that as i add files, their genres are not auto added, so a lot of new music has been excluded from random play. That's the problem with everyone using their own genres, I now have a few hundred...I'd quite like 20 or so! wcndave's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29445 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99715 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

There is no standard you have to set the genre tags yourself just like many other tags . Sometime the ripping software sugest no genre at all or the commercial file you bought did not have any or ( a pet peeve of mine ) the artist invented some new cool genre :~ . In general treat the delivered/ripped tags as suggestion and at least spend a minute or 2 when adding stuff to check them . If you get things from the " Internet " you'd be surprised what some thinks are acceptable tagging :) Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

Re: [slim] Exclude Directories From Random Play
Yes, I saw how the first solution could work, however it requires that I remember to tag all my material as it's added. The second solution suggested seemed a lot easier - however I did not think it could be done.

If you are ok with purchasing some third party plugins, you can use
Multi Library plugin to define a library for everything in your main LMS
library excluding the kids folder.
In addition to this, you need to use SQL PLaylist + Dynamic Playlist
plugins instead of Random Mix menu, with the SQL Playlist plugin you can
create a "Random songs" playlist which is restricted to the content in
the library you have defined in Multi Library plugin.

Re: [slim] Exclude Directories From Random Play
Is there any way to be able to to exclude a dir and sub-dirs from random play? Not dirs, but genres: just tag your files appropriately, and you can easily exclude "kids" etc. from the mix. Alternatively, I would look at using browse folders for just these tracks, however browse folders only includes folders that are scanned... No, the "Browse Music Folder" menu even often is used to play things which have not been scanned yet. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Exclude Directories From Random Play
I have 2 scanned folders that contain FLAC and MP3 files. I also have a 3rd folder that contains childrens music, childrens audio books, educational materials, christmas songs and various other resources. I would like to be able to select these to play when I wish, however I don't want them to play when I do random play, which I do a lot (it's a great way to listen to music you'd all but forgotten about..) Is there any way to be able to to exclude a dir and sub-dirs from random play? Alternatively, I would look at using browse folders for just these tracks, however browse folders only includes folders that are scanned... is there another way?
