[slim] Music Library - spanning more than one Disc volume
Hi all This is probably more of a Windows problem (I think in Linux the problem can be avoided via symlinks). When playing your own music the controller (or Radio as well) has a Music Folder setting which is say D:\music on a Windows machine. If I want to now add another volume say on E:\ music I have to change the settings in the server. Not a very satisfactory way. Now in Windows 7 there is a Library facility -- you can add as many volumes as you like to a Library - including networked volumes. However Windows XP / Vista doesn't have Libraries. So the question is as follows 1- for Windows 7 will the server software be modified so your Music Folder can be a Windows 7 Library 2 For other Windows OS'es is there some way of adding extra volumes to the music folder such as d:\music;e:\music;f:\music With a large collection I need to have it spread out over more than one disk -- MySQL doesn't have problems with dataspeace spreading over several volumes. Perhaps this is easily done -- I'm not a computer guru -- just a poor user. I like the whole squeezebox concept however -- much cheaper than the sonos system and sound quality is fine (especially with 24 bit FLAC / WAV playback).

For example say I have d:\music1 and e:\music2 what do I set up on my server as the music folder. The Radio I assume will look at the library that the server has defined as the music folder.
