Re: [slim] Updating music files over the network
Another vote for robocopy. I use it for a lot of mission-critical stuff as it's been rock solid. It's a command-line app. If you don't like command line apps, there's a GUI around for it (also free). One nice thing about command line apps is that they are very easy to put in the scheduler. -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90364 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Updating music files over the network
Just a word of caution re: SyncToy - there's a clue from the name. It is just a free tool provided by MS and support is not guaranteed. I trialled it and found that it had a 255 character path+file length limit (which is quite easy to hit with a typical music library folder scheme). http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/uk-UA/synctoy/thread/190980a7-5428-4b96-a016-53b7cb82bc4b I'd recommend using robocopy (Windows utility) if you are OK with command-line tools, since this has had most of the bugs ironed out and it doesn't have the path length issue. -- mr-b mr-b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10044 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90364 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Updating music files over the network
+2 for Synctoy 2.1. I have set it up with the task scheduler to automatically copy the files over in the evening and such. I've also used (and paid for) Allway Sync, but prefer Synctoy for its simplicity (setting up rules in Allway Sync can be a pain). Best of all, Synctoy is free. Another program to consider is Limagito. It is only free for one "rule" but that is all you really need. http://www.limagito.com/ -- vrette (3) SB Touch, (3) SB Radio, Cambridge Audio 840AV2, 340T, DacMagic, B&W 683, HSU VFT2-MK3, Logitech Harmony 880, 7.6.1 on Asus E35M1-M PRO Win7 64 bit , and a bunch of other stuff... vrette's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15256 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90364 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Updating music files over the network
Thank you for all your replies. Squeezeplug now controlling all my squeezebox needs. I downloaded Allway Sync, which now automatically detects any new music files, and copies them over the network to the external hdd attached to the plug. Still got to manually rescan for new music on the server though! -- gruntwolla Debian sheeva plug running sbs 7.5.4 SB3 + my hifi Duet + AE5's 2 Booms 1 Radio Squeezecommander on htc desire ipeng on wifes iphone gruntwolla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90364 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

When I installed sbs onto the plug I didn't realise I should have installed Samba. That is now done,and it's just a case of drag and drop, and rescan for new music. Takes seconds! I will still check out the various recommendations for software to automate the process though. Here's one option http://www.2brightsparks.com/ If you have any problems with your plug, I thoroughly recommend truehl on the 3rd party plugins forum. He really is incredibly helpful.

Re: [slim] Updating music files over the network
Goodsync its not free but not expensive and is absolutely rock solid. You can set it up to run in idle time in the background when you arent logged on. etc Its the only program I've found that I trust enough for the job. Once setup, forget about it and it just does its thing and will send you an email status report after each sync. Their beta v9 looks really interesting as well with delta p2p copying but I've only used v8 so far. -- cparker www.spicefly.com - Spicefly SugarCube - Taking Squeezebox and MusicIP to the next level.

Re: [slim] Updating music files over the network
Perhaps I am confused? What has Win7? The SheevaPlug or another PC, a DeskTop? Anyways... If the sheevaplug has UBUNTU or soem other flavour of LINUX, then you will need SAMBA so that the music folder can be shared over the LAN. You can then 'map the folder' as a Drive on the windows machine. Once that is done, use whatever Sync software is you pleasure. I use SyncToy to back up to an occasionally attached USB drive on the XP Pro PC from my music folder on a UBUNTU 11.04 shuttle PC. Cheers!
