Re: [slim] Spotify plugin not appearing
And... it does seem to work with Squeezebox basic player! But, it seems to require that the Squeezebox music server is running. I had thought that Spotify would run through mysqueezebox.com, without the need for the computer that runs music server to be turned on. Does anyone know, is that correct? (Oh... in case anyone else needs it, instructions on 3rd party Triode plugin are at https://www.spotify.com/us/blog/archives/2011/01/24/spotify-on-squeezebox-now-available/#comment-40640. )) Many thanks, Mary mpete631702 wrote: > Thank you, Michael!

[slim] Spotify plugin not appearing
Hi folks, I have an older Squeezebox v3 and a premium account with Spotify. I tried to install the Spotify app by going to mysqueezebox.com, and it appeared to work, but the app doesn't show up on my Squeezebox. It also doesn't appear in App Gallery -- Music On-Demand, either. Is Spotify not compatible with my older hardware?? Thanks so much for your help!

[slim] Re: rescan or tagging problem, not sure which
Hi again Mark -- Just wanted to follow up and say that I finally got the troublesome albums to appear by using the "Clear library and rescan everything" option as you suggested. (I'd done that before, as you noticed, but didn't realize I should do it *again* after deleting the database file.) And thanks for the tips on using MP3tag! That's a great little program. Thanks again for all your help.

[slim] Re: rescan or tagging problem, not sure which
Thanks for the reply, Mark! I do have Mp3tag, so I'll have a closer look at the tags (which are ID3v2, btw). I'm pretty sure the artist name is fine -- at least it *looks* just the same as the tag in the other files, the ones that do show up. Will Mp3tag do something like: make all the tags in all my other songs like the tags in this song? I don't really know how to use the program, but I hope something like that works. I suspect about 50 discs that I've ripped recently are affected. Frankly it's shocking that SlimServer is so sensitive to the tag issue, if that's what's going on. One last thing: is there an explanation for why I can see the problem albums through Browse Artist in the web interface but not through Browse Artist in the player? Do those functions not do the same thing? Thanks again, Mary P. Mark Lanctot Wrote: > I find SlimServer really likes consistency.

[slim] Re: rescan or tagging problem, not sure which
Ah, good question -- forgot to include the format info. The songs are mp3s. I looked more closely at the ID3 tags, and here are some details. I see some differences, but not anything that would obviously cause this problem! Album that IS recognized in Browse by Album: Album Artist Genre Songlen Title Track Year Album that is NOT recognized in Browse by Album: Album Artist Encodersettings Title Track Year Again, thanks for any help! - Mary P. cjhabs Wrote: > What format did you rip the albums to?

[slim] rescan or tagging problem, not sure which
Hi folks -- Hoping someone can help me with a problem that's driving me up the wall! >:-0 In essence, I have two new albums in my library that I can see through Browse Album in the SB, but not through Browse Artist. Also, I can see the two problem albums through Browse Album in the web interface, just not that way through the SB itself. I have another album by the same artist which does show up through Browse Album in the SB, and I've checked the ID3 tags for songs from albums that do and don't show up, and they all seem OK as far as I can tell. The fields are not identical, but there is an album and an artist field in both sets of tags. I've rescanned the whole music library, rebooted my computer, deleted the database file and restarted slimserver. I've installed the latest nightly release of slimserver too. (Oh, and I'm on Win XP sp2.) Any ideas?? This is driving me bats, particularly because I don't know how many other albums may be affected! Thanks a lot for any help. :-) Best, Mary P. -- mpete631702 -------- mpete631702's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4055 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22471 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
