2006-07-25 Thread Mr SA

I'm running the latest 6.3.1 on Linux.  Still broken.

I haven't had this working since I retired my old server 18 months ago.
That was running on an ancient version that honoured operating system
specification of hidden files (dot prefix) and the database would not
index cue-sheeted mp3 files that were named with a dot prefix.

Is there any chance we can go back to simple funcitonality like that? 
It worked.  It was simple.  It was logical.  What business might
SlimServer possibly have indexing hidden files?

For me, this is all to do with gapless playback.  The only reason i
have any cue sheets is to get gapless.  I now have a legacy of very
high quality mp3 rips (Lame preset extreme/EAC) with cuesheets.  The
answer is the difference between retranscoding and a feature that
should either work or at least show stable behaviour from version to
version.  It strikes me that the development hasn't pinned down exactly
what certain functions are for.

FWIW, 6.3.1 does play my cuesheet files; it does honour symlinks in my
mp3 library.  This is a good build.  I'm just petrified that the next
build will break these things.

 vote. The non audiophile yes voters are winning with 57.82%.

I must be one of those non-audiophiles then because my squeezebox
digital output into my Proceed AVP and NAIM 82/180/SBLs rocks.

Without getting silly with hugely esoteric CD playback rigs, this setup
is easily comparable with my audiophile £1500 CD player.

It is only the jitter of the digital connection that is unassessed in
this solution.  Back to back comparison of WAV, mp3 and FLAC don't
produce conclusive damnation of the mp3 format.
