Re: [slim] What to do with CD booklets
What about a link to the album's home page on line, or if that does not exist to sales page of amazon. That should cover most albums. Then if the link is available in the skin (eg nokia 770) you can browse everything while listening. Ideally the link is stored as tag in freedb or somewhere similar. Artists and CD publishers could no doubt flood the home page's with ads. I read somewhere that facebook/myspace can now have 'commercial members', that may be just the place for CD homepages. -- gusi gusi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3801 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40304 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] What to do with CD booklets
What I'd like to see (I haven't yet checked out SC7) is simply the ability to view other files in the folders when browsing the Music Folder in the browser UI. (Just as the browser might handle these types of files usally.) Then if I scanned the CD inserts as pdfs, I could view them in the browser interface or open them from the browser into a pdf viewer. I'm so over physical media. So hard to keep track of. -- bephillips More than 35611 songs on 2849 albums by 2050 artists. Mostly flac, some mp3.

Re: [slim] What to do with CD booklets
Inspired by the success of my efforts to do away with CDs in my life, I want to move on to digitizing (or discarding)as much of my paper docs as I can, and this would include CD liner notes. I also do some crude OCR so that the docs are searcheable. I'm trying to develop a fairly automated workstream for this, like I did for ripping/tagging my music collection. Of course I could view such liner note pdfs over the network through the finder, but it would be nice if this were better integrated with Slimserver, I mean SqueezeCenter. -- bephillips More than 35611 songs on 2849 albums by 2050 artists.

John It does - I use J River's Media Center to manage all sorts of information. The two coexist just fine. Those little white stickers on the image above show my custom Reference ID field, that maps the position in the CD case with the ripped tracks. -- MrC MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40304 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What to do with CD booklets
One of the slim users has created a controller plugin or app that will allow you to control your squeezeboxes via JRMC. I don't use that be several people have. You should be able to find the links here in the plugins area. You can share your favorites lists - creating them in one app, using in the other. You certainly want to use MC12 (vs. the older MC11) as there has been significant enhancements this past year. Its an excellent app for managing your media (hard or soft), as well as video, tv, tivo, etc. I tend to listen mostly via JRMC when I'm in my office and use the squeezeboxes when in other rooms of the house. Tagging is outstanding in JRMC; I do all my tagging this way. There is so much capability in the app, it can be also overwhelming at first.

Re: [slim] What to do with CD booklets
Very nice. I wish there were such plugins for other software. I'll look some more at JRMC. -- JSharp JSharp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13675 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40304 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] What to do with CD booklets
There have posts here with saying how people store their CDs once they've been ripped. What I'd like to know is how do you store the booklets - if not packed away with the disc? I'm still ripping my collection so haven't got to this stage yet, but there are many discs where I know I'd like to refer to the booklet - for musician listings on jazz tracks for instance. Any ideas?
