Re: [slim] Need help pointing towards itunes
This worked like a champ for my purposes of needing to browse through the music folder. PM me your address and I'll send you a bottle of wine or something! Thank you SO much. You literally saved me from selling all my SB stuff and going to Sonos. -- fortitude.five fortitude.five's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Need help pointing towards itunes
First off, thanks a ton for sticking with me on this. My music is actually super organized by music/lossless, music/24bit, music/lossy so I'm good to go there. I've isolated it down to one major problem that is giving me a real run for my money and I'm hoping that it can be resolved. If I go into music/lossless/random artist, all tracks have 01, 02, 03 etc before them and sort correctly. But, I also have many artists and albums that do not have the numbers in the track name. On these albums, when listening through the music folder, SBS sorts the tracks alphabetically which is driving me nuts. They are all have proper tagging. Why can't SBS read the tagging? If you can help me figure this out without going in and adding numbers in the track titles for 1000's of tracks, I'll send you a present, I swear :) -- fortitude.five fortitude.five's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Need help pointing towards itunes
Yes, I almost always browse to my music folder with SBS and do not use artist, album, etc. The reason for this is that I like to go in and either select lossless or 24bit albums to listen to, but I also like to have access to my mp3 albums that I have only in lossy format if I want to listen to those as well. I also want to know what type of file I'm hearing, and I don't have my library memorized to know each album by bitrate. Are we saying that there is no good way to really do this? -- fortitude.five fortitude.five's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Need help pointing towards itunes
even more clarity on my main problem. Tracks won't stay in order unless I put "01", "02", etc in the beginning of the title when they are in my windows folders. The DB poweramp tags have the right info, but the tracks are jumbled in some cases. Got a solution? I'm sure I'm being an idiot and just don't know how to do it right. -- fortitude.five fortitude.five's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Need help pointing towards itunes
I think you did help. So if I browse to the area that I have designated in SB as "music folder" then the titles are used instead of tags? All of my "lossless", "mp3", and "24bit" subdirectories are under my main "music folder". How do I keep the ability to search in my bitrate folders while maintaining the tagging? -- fortitude.five fortitude.five's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Need help pointing towards itunes
Thanks for the response, Aubuti. The reason that I want to point to iTunes is because of the better organization/tagging. I have lots of music that is ripped with DB Poweramp or downloaded from online web stores that will be ordered correctly in iTunes, but not when sitting in a Windows directory. Also would like the artwork and any other info to populate from one central place into SB. Directory structure where all music is stored is F: Music and then sub directories of Lossless, 24 bit, mp3, etc. Would like to keep this sorting ability to group albums by bitrate even if I use itunes. I guess I could do this with huge playlists so that answers that question. Maybe my main issue is knowing how to get SB to read correct track order out of a windows file? Is there a trick to that? -- fortitude.five fortitude.five's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Anyone? Heard this is easy, just don't know how or where to find good info. Even if someone could point me towards a thread that would be great. -- fortitude.five fortitude.five's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Need help pointing towards itunes
Guys - sorry for a question that's probably been answered endless times, but I could really use some help. A couple of questions that I've been trying to figure out for months, and I just don't know enough. I have my whole music library set up on a mounted storage drive. I also have my itunes library xml file/directory on this same drive. I can't get squeezebox server to point at itunes instead of my music directory. Anyone know a troubleshooting process that I can go through? The beginner's itunes sqeezebox setup page did not help. I also want to be able to reach my 24bit files, which itunes will not support. Can I still point sqeezebox server at a music directory in addition to itunes? Even inside of the 16bit files in itunes, I want to be able to sort them by MP3, lossless, etc. Is the only way to do this through itunes playlists if I'm pointing squeeze at itunes? I currently have different directories for each in my music directory. Thanks for any and all help!! -- fortitude.five fortitude.five's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
