Re: [slim] Simple question? How to download and album and listen to it right away?
As posted above, if your new music resides in/under your Music Folder then Just use Browse Music Folder and, well, browse to the folder the music is in. As a side effect, this adds the music to the music library. If, however, your new music does not reside in/under your music folder, or you only want to listen to something, without adding it to you music library e.g. podcast, something on a visiting usb stick etc, Then you can use the Tune In URL feature from the web interface to point to a file or folder, and use the Tune In or Add buttons as appropriate. This has been mentioned previously http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42835 http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41470 and probably elsewhere. What would be really neat, is if someone could come up with a shell extension, so this capability is available directly in the file explorer context menu - similar to foobar2000s play in, enqueue in foobar2000 options (Note: I understand some of this is windows specific, but I the approach is general) -- Grahame Grahame's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70869 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Well, ride me sideways! Who knew? This is so handy! It's always been a bugbear to add a new song to the library if you're in a hurry...

If you have a large library, using music library might be slow. Check also Settings/Advanced/Rescan library To allow daily rescan.

There is an 'AutoRescan plugin' (http://www.hickinbottom.com/autorescan), but it seems somewhat tricky to use. My main concern besides that is that I normally make several changes in a row (edit tags, add cover art, move and rename files), and I would not want to trigger an unnecessary rescan for every intermediary step. That is why I haven't tried it so far. -- usch usch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70869 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

mmonacel;481001 Wrote: This is probably a VERY easy question, however for the life of me, I can't figure out how to quickly, simply, and easily get new music that I downloaded onto my Squeezebox and listen to it in a timely manner. Downloading the music is no problem - and neither is moving it to my ReadyNAS. The issue comes when I need to add it to the SB's indexed list of music. The only options I can see to either basically do a full scan or a scan for new or changed music. Unfortunately scanning for new or changed music takes a long time (~10 minutes). That's completely unnecessary IMO. I'm all excited to listen to some new music and then I need to wait seemingly forever to actually listen to it through my SB. Is there anyway to point to a single directory and say add this folder or scan this folder for new music so I can get right down to digging my new tunes? I have about 360 GB of music in about 2300 total folders. ReadyNAS Duo RAIDiator 4.1.5 Buh? Ever wondered why you need to brag?
