There's no support for leaving behind reference files to the master track, but if SlimServer were to add support for some kind of magic files, I could change MMM to leave them behind. Note that MMM is finding duplicates based on audio fingerprints, not metadata. Note that finding duplicates is a premium feature (meaning you need an active registration key), but a trial key will work just fine, and you should be able to clean all your duplicates before the trial ends.

As far as the subscription goes, I can get you free access until your collection is up and running, and you see how you like it for yourself. No need to spend any money until you're sure you are happy with the results. You can either use the "Trial Key" button in version 1.1.5, or email me directly.

We don't have watch folders on Linux yet, so this is likely a different issue (if watch folders are indeed the cause of the other issue).

I think you mean the cdideas.predixis.com website - if so, this is only using a small subset of the whole database which has been connected to Amazon and CD Baby. The whole database is over 5,000,000 songs right now. Wendell ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
