Re: [slim] iTunes Library incomplete
I have over 9000 tracks and SC gets them all. Are you running iTunes on Windows or Mac.? Is SC running on the same box or another box, if so how are they connected.? Personally, I have my iTunes software running on a Mac mini with a read-only view to a share on my storage server (don't want iTunes to screw up my tags). My SC is running on the Mac, so it reads the iTunes XML file quickly - it only takes about a minute. -- WizardFusion WizardFusion's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20715 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53104 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] iTunes Library incomplete
My iTunes library has 15800 tracks in it. I set all the Use iTunes settings in the Squeeze Center. I start the rescan, and SC starts by saying importing 1 out of 15800 songs, and goes up until 6444, and then finishes. Why doesn't it scan them all in ? Yes some tracks are from iTunes Store, but only a few dozen, maybe more. The tracks that I can clearly see appear in iTunes but not the SC library are generally all from CDs uploaded into iTunes over the years. Is there something with the authoring ? I've tried to see if anything in iTunes is specific to the tracks not imported but can find nothing ? Anyone any ideas ?

Re: [slim] iTunes Library name(s) - ???
I want to bump this too. It seems to me that SC needs a quick fix to search for either itunes music library.xml OR itunes library.xml. Shouldn't be too hard should it? -- StuartC StuartC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19597 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41574 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Itunes Library
Only a part of my itunes library is read by Squeezebox Duet. I have cleared and rescanned to no avail. Much of what is missing are the songs I have purchased and downloaded on itunes and not my ripped music. What I am doing wrong??

Re: [slim] Itunes Library
Due to Apple licensing Squeezebox can't playback anything bought from the iTunes store which includes DRM. This is most of their content (some more recent files don't have DRM and are playable). -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51173 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iTunes Library name(s) - ???
rambeaux;253657 Wrote: My scan was choking, and I found advice to put the iTunes library files in the same spot as the mp3's. This didn't turn out to be the issue, so I reverted and everything works. I thought I'd post some learnings... 2. Apple names the .xml file differently depending on whether or not it's in the defaul location. If it's in MyMusic, then it names it iTunes Music Library.xml, which is what the scanner is looking for. If it's elsewhere, and you shift-launch iTunes and redirect it to the new location, it names it iTunes Library.xml and the scanner can't find it (or any of your updated playlists, etc...) I moved the .itl file back, and it named it properly, and I'm off and running! I wanted to bump this up and see if anyone knows how to get SqueezeCenter to read the iTunes Library.xml file? I am a Windows user (for iTunes) but store my library and .XML files on my Linux server which runs SqueezeCenter. Since I moved these files away from the default location, I'm getting the name of iTunes Library.xml which is not working.

[slim] iTunes Library name(s) - ???
I'm trying to troubleshoot some problems with loading iTunes, and have one big question, more to do with iTunes than SS. I did *something* that created a file called iTunes Music Library.xml in my iTunes folder. I have no idea where it came from, but it seems that Apple started naming the file iTunes Library.xml, dropping the 'Music' part. One of my debugging scans seems to indicate that it's looking for the iTunes Music Library.xml file, but the two files that are updated (and current) are iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml. Any idea what gives with these two files? ...or how I created the 'other' one? A bit of history: I had mp3's in M:\iTunes and the library in My Music on C:. This seemed to be a potential cause of issues, so I copied them over to M:\iTunes, redirected iTunes at the library file, ran a consolidate library in iTunes, and then configured slimserver to look in the right folder. I managed to get the playlists loaded, but they wouldn't update. When I renamed the (older) iTunes Music Library.xml file, and did a wipe and reload in SS, my playlists are empty. Of course, now renaming the file doesn't help. I moved it back to the MyMusic folder, and now it works. OK, now I'm rambling and answering a bunch of my own questions -- but why is it I get different debug messages every time I run the same thing? Now it says it got the location from the registry. I'm off to chase THAT down now... -- rambeaux rambeaux's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41574 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
