Sigh! Hi, I dont use iTunes, but I guess if you dont use that option, the file names will not start with a number, so Slimserver will not be able to order your songs in the album order, but just in plain alphabetical order with the _name_ of the song (I dont think you can tag AIFF files internally either). I would try to find a pattern for the songs/albums that dont work in your original case: album + song name length? any special feature all those songs share? any difference in file extension?, etc... I dont use AIFF (just FLAC, and very ocasionally mp3) but I had never encountered this issue with my files. Try to get a pattern for the files, and open a bug report if its something you think its a bug.

Ok, I *did* find a workaround for this problem. Out of the 45 albums I ripped into uncompressed AIFF files, I discovered there were 5 albums in which the songs would not all play in Squeezbox. So, I did an experiment - I deleted the albums in question, and reimported them, but first in iTunes advanced options for importing, I UN-checked the option "Create Filenames with Track Number". That worked - now all the tracks in the affected albums are available. Unfortunately, the album tracks for that album are not in sequence - I'm not sure how to fix THAT problem.

This may be a serious issue, but it may be quickly fixed. Use http://bugs.slimdevices.com to create a bug report, and upload all the info you have, the more complete you can. I have had different issues using SlimServer, and everytime I found what I thought was a bug, I opened a report. I dont think even one of those issues was left unresolved. Sometimes its really fast, sometimes it takes a little time, but its worth. -- Néstor Néstor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=60 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17858 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I moved the album folder to where the previous folder had been. Interestingly, these .WAV files played fine, and Slimserver had no issues. However, as a check, I deleted the album for a second time, and re-ripped as .AIFF files, and then moved the new album folder back into the same location in "My Music" Once AGAIN, Slimserver will not play 8 of the 9 tracks. Yet AIFF is supposed to be one of the supported file types? There seems to be a serious issue with the Slimserver software. -- Cleve Two-channel system; McIntosh MC2205 amplifier McIntosh MAC4100 receiver Klipsch CF-4 speakers Denon DR-M3 Cassette Deck Cleve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2048 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17858 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Have you tried (just as a test) extracting the files exactly in the same way but with a different ending format, lets say mp3, to see if the problem persists? That could help isolate the problem or point you in the right direction. -- Néstor Néstor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=60 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17858 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
