Re: [slim] Using MusicIP generated playlists
I'm not sure which method you're using the generate the m3u files - if you create them as playlists inside the mixer first, you can right-click and set the "Extended" option to save them with EXTM3U data. If you do File/Save As Playlist, those should also be in extended format. I don't see a hook for the HTTP API to generated extended format, but I made a note to add that in the future. Maybe one of those items will help? -- whicken whicken's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3991 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42978 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The beta is only available for Windows at the moment, but we will be doing a linux release in the future. Anyways, if someone could test the Windows version to make sure it's giving correct results with SC, that would be fantastic. Also - note that the metadata mixer sends over the API is only the metadata from the files. We do not use the "suggested tag fixes" from MusicDNS unless a user specifically applies those to their files. So any other issues reported here about strange metadata are probably likely to issues such as album artist not being consistent with track artist in the file. Those are things you might want to fix in your files independent of the mixer. If someone has concrete examples, or info to the contrary, I'd be happy to investigate to make sure things are working as smoothly as possible. -- whicken whicken's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3991 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48357 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If a song is ready/mixable, but hasn't been validated yet, that means MusicIP is using the metadata to identify the track. So a track which is tagged as "Jumping Jack Flash" by "The Rolling Stones" will get associated with the most common version of that track. However, the track may be mistagged, or there may be alternate versions of this track. During validation, we can confirm the metadata, and update the acoustics to be more precise. So, the upshot should generally be better mixes after validation, but if your metadata is reasonably clean, things should work fine without the validation. Validation always starts with the unmixable songs first, so you can try to get complete coverage of your collection before the more detailed cleanup process starts - this is the reason why it starts slow and then speeds up. -- whicken whicken's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3991 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] The Wiki needs big help.
As a workaround, Google does a great job searching - if you do something like this: musicip site:wiki.slimdevices.com It will find whatever you're looking for (replace musicip with your own search phrase, the point is to add site:wiki.slimdevices.com to your google search). This trick can be a huge time saver. -- whicken whicken's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3991 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49294 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
