 Anyway, there doesn't seem to be any difference I can see between the
 ID3tags. When checking two different songs, one that displays both
 title and artist, and one that only shows the artist, both are filled
 out in all major fields. There are no unusal characters, no major
 difference in field lengths, no difference if spaces were used or not.

Is there a chance that some of these files might have both  ID3v1 and
ID3v2 tags at the same time?  One tag might be right and the other
might be incomplete.  I have run across MP3s of my own that had both
set, and I can easily see by looking at the file properties using
WinAmp.

Anywho, I have no idea what SlimServer does with MP3s that have both
tags, but it probably just looks at one set and ignores the other.

Did you ever do any television viewing in the 1940s?

Interference, vertical hold, tuner drift, having to hold odd poses while 
adusting the aerial; all were commonplace.


Until this device underwent significant development it too had 
deficiencies and foibles.  Despite this, it's value was understood and 
appreciated and many were sold despite the cost.


In fact, it's popularity continues to this day.

Amusing, but hardly accurate. I, and many others, run SS on windows
with no problems. 


Sorry. Private joke. I used to live near Simon and we met up a couple of 
times to get all geeky about music, hifi, and our Squeezeboxes. He'd had 
trouble installing linux on an old PC so I offered to help. I seem to 
remember it was a 486 with 12MB of RAM, or something!!


I must install Slimserver on a Windows box and see what all the fuss is 
about...

sure, but feed the tv a bad signal it is hard to fault the tv for a grainy
picture.

slimserver can't possibly correct for everything magically.  give a chance at
finding out the cause, then its easier to determine what, if anything, needs to
be fixed in slimserver. Every fix begins with somebody having a problem that
can be reliably reproduced by those who can fix it. Every problem that has been
fixed along the way, including many that you have benefitted from is due to
other users who have helped provide details of the cause.  This time, it looks
like it has to be your turn.  Pity, yes, but the effort is appreciated.
