[SlimDevices: Touch] LMS all dicked up..... multiple issues.
My old PC shat the bed, so I bought a new one expressly for music as I had over a TB of music stored on my old machine and external drive. Now, I have multiple failures. 1. Dupes. I have 2-3-4 and sometimes more copies of a whole mess of my library. Some are due to tracks being contained on different albums, and different versions, but most are just dupes on one CD. 2. "Unable to find" message on my Touch when I selecet a song and hit play. 3. More than one copy of a CD. I suspect that this has something to do with item 1, above. 4. When I try to manipulate anything on LMS software, I get the red message "You are not authorized to make changes. When I follow the steps to sign in, I get the same crap over and over again. It's maddening. 5. Partial CDs. I look up Jimi Hendrix and there might only be 2 or 3 songs displayed for any one CD. I have tried wiping the machine with the reset button. This did not help. This USED to be the best piece of audio gear that I own due to its simplicity. My stereo is in one room, my thousand plus CD's another. This made it SO easy. Now, its all crap and the machine is only useful to listen to Pandora or Amazon, not my music collection. Any suggestions??? I am planning on buying a used Apple MacBook and setting it up near my stereo. I will also plug a TB or 2 storage device into the Mac. But, will I have to reburn ALL of my music to get it back to "normal"? I used this thing for years with zero issues. Now, its largely worthless. I am verklempt beyond description. Throw me a bone please, or suggest a replacement that won't break the bank.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] LMS all dicked up..... multiple issues.
LMS couldn't be simpler so I doubt it is the source of your problems. Install the latest release version: 7.9.1. Open LMS Control Panel and confirm it is set to index only the folder(s) where your music library is located. Make sure there are no shortcuts to other folders in the target folders. Do a "Clear and Rescan" library rebuild. Post back with results.

Firstly LMS is still the best piece of audio gear. Second if all your music files still exist then all is not lost but make sure you have a full backup before you go much further. You haven't told us what OS your new PC has nor which version of LMS you have installed.

Open LMS Control Panel and confirm it is set to index only the folder(s) where your music library is located. Make sure there are no shortcuts to other folders in the target folders. Do a "Clear and Rescan" library rebuild. The "Unable to find" error is probably due to your Touch looking to the IP address of the old LMS server. After doing the above, on the back of the Touch above the power plug is a reset button. Press and hold this button until the Touch restarts. It will guide you through the initial setup again. Post back with results. Issues with duplicates and incomplete CDs are probably due to file tagging problems unrelated to LMS.

Many thanks. I am out of town for a week, but will follow up once I get home with the info requested. I really love this thing and want to get it back in shape.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] LMS all dicked up..... multiple issues.
Slow performance is probably due to the way your ripping software is configured. When back, post additional information here and you'll get help.

You should also clear your library and re-scan everything stereoptic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53162 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109126 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

When I open the software I have the following - "There is no updated LMS version available" And it always starts with "You dont have privileges to install start/stop the LMS background service. Please start the control panel from Windows Start Menu, via the right click context menu and click "Run as Administrator" When I do this, nothing really happens. I keep gettign the same message. I am on the only one who uses the machine. I am not sure how it is that I don't have the privilege.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] LMS all dicked up..... multiple issues.
Thank you, Ronnie. I will try that this weekend when I return home. I am anxious to straighten out this mess. I abhor wandering over to the CD pile and trying to find something specific. I have several hundred and lousy eyesight. It's a pain now that I have been spoiled by the Touch. oldmako's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109126 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Will do as soon as I get back home. I don't generally have, form nor keep playlists so hopefully this won't be a contributing factor. oldmako's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109126 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Some CD ripper software automatically creates .pls files or cue files. This has caught me by surprise a few times in the past. I had files in folders that I didn't know were there. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.4) > LMS 7.9.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.4) > LMS 7.9.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9.1 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Transporter, Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109126 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
