Re: [slim] Using iMac as a music client and living with iTunes?
OK .. answered the first part of my question myself by searching these forums.! Installed squeezeplay beta on my iMac and it connects to my squeezecenter and synchronises with the other devices I have. Great! So my question now revolves around the best method of setting up a separate itunes library on my iMac to 'feed' my iphone (and keep a backup of all my music) - I'm guessing there are other threads on this so I will continue to search. The ideal situation would be... - I keep maintaining my music on my WHS server; - This music folder on the WHS is somehow synchronised with my iMac and itunes picks up any changes to the folder - iTunes is used only for the iphone and when I want to listen to music exclusively on my iMac. Too much to ask for?

Re: [slim] Using iMac as a music client and living with iTunes?
Thanks David I'll search on the following topics 1. iTunes 9 and folder monitoring 2. Synchronising files between windows home server and iMac OSX10.6 (if I can't get iTunes to do this) 3. iTunes 9 'self-managing' (to avoid me having to add every new folder of music manually) . It would be great if iTunes could monitor the folder on the windows home server and reflect any changes in the iTunes library which will be held on the iMac (i'd have to go wired while it build the library given the amount of data). I'd back up my mp3s differently (have RAID on the home server) Will post progress here. Any further advice appreciated (pretty new to this iMac and iTunes thing but have had squeezecenter and mp3tag working well for years) Regards Ian -- ianof ianof's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9505 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68007 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Using iMac as a music client and living with iTunes?
Hi there I have 2 SB3s and 1 Duet. I hold all my music on a TranquilPC windows home server running squeezecenter 7.3.2. I have recently purchased an iMac for the family. I would like to be able to listen to music on my iMac direct from the WHS and ideally be able to sych the iMac with the SB3s and duet (so I can have the same music playing in a number of different rooms). Is it possible to use an iMac as a client of squeezecentre and synch to my other SB devices? Also I manually (!) copy all my music media from the WHS to the iMac to get iTunes to select music for my iPhone (I did this to keep a copy of all my music and keep iTunes away from my main library). However when I add a new folder of music to iTunes I get duplicates etc. Any clever way of keeping the folder on my WHS and my iMac in synch and having itunes keep up with additions? Thanks for any advice Regards Ian -- ianof ianof's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9505 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68007 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What 'library management' tool for synching with Sony mp3 player ( ipod)
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I guess what I'm looking for is a tool that scans the music location and updates the library location and updates automatically when new folders added etc (I think the GOLD version of media monkey can do this). Ill look into the J. river media jukebox which also seems to be able to do this.

[slim] What 'library management' tool for synching with Sony mp3 player ( ipod)
I'm the proud owner of 2 SB3s and 1 Duet with all of my songs collected over 20 years (20,000) held on a Tranquil PC SQA-5H home server running squeezecenter 7.3.2 and MusicIP. I manage all of my song library through folders and occasionally update the full squeezecenter library. I recently purchased a Sony NWZ-739F mp3 player (loverly piece of kit) because it is drag and drop and it allowed easily move the folders of music I wanted. However I've begun to realise the limitations of this in that when I retag music it doesn't automatically sych through or I can't easily create playlists on my PC (using musicip) and copy these to the device. So what I want is a tool that will sync to the Sony but which I can point at my homeserver and refresh easily. I do not want to have to start managing my library through this tool (like Itunes forces me to). My son has an IPOD nano so I have itunes but I can't figure out how to automatically recreate/refresh the library (other than remembering to add the folders of music I add manually). Single solution to both devices would be brilliant.
