Re: [slim] Can't Get Rid of music from shortcut

I thought that I had done that, but I can't see where this stuff is coming from in the file system. Why can't slimserver just search the path I specify and leave everything else alone? Uninstall SlimServer. Delete C:\Program Files\slimserver. **Delete all playlists in your music folder.** This is probably where the old entries were coming from. If you want to keep your playlists, you must edit them to point to the new locations of all files. You can open most playlists in a text editor then do a global Find - Replace.

Try giving each player (including any softsqueezes) a completely fresh album to play from your flac collection, then do a full clear and rescan. HTH Thanks for the suggestion, though that didn't work. I solved the problem by deleting the folder. I have to re-rip that CD anyway eventually as I am re-ripping all of my CDs to FLAC, and hadn't gotten to that one yet. -- gdpeck gdpeck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33158 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
