Re 2. make a copy of the image to each subfolder and clear and rescan
everything .

LMS supports embedded image if that does not exists it looks for an
image in the same folder as the music files not the folder above as in
the case with disc 1 & 2  

Re 1. The "music folder" does not use the tag information it just uses
the folders and files in the sort order they are in , it is specifically
designed to not use tags ,for testing purpose or untagged library’s .
You can use a tagging tool to rename the files to include track nr in
front then they sort right . But this mode is slower than the others it
is best to use tags so would not bother.

Best solution is to separate the files so that you can point LMS to only
the lossles files + files you only have in lossy formats, there are
several ways to figure that out .

Another solution is to use a function in the advanced > file types menu
called "Disabled Audio File Extensions" and disable the lossy formats
from scanning , this only works if you actually have dual copies of
everything
and does not wan't any lossy files visible.

3. scanning takes time depending on size of collection and cpu and
memory of the server NAS is usually slow if small energy efficient and
quiet shows up somewhere .
So make changes in batches and do a scan when your not listening when
your at work or sleeps .
This is less of problem later when the collection is in working order
with the tags you want then you only add an albm now and then

[SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezebox Touch - Synology NAS / Help needed

2012-06-11 Thread eLiasGR

hello,

i finally added SBT to my system. previously i was playing my music
files on my laptop.

my configuration is; SBT + Synology DS211j + DACMagic2 + CA Azur 640 +
Wireworld Starlight Coax cable

i have several questions both on SBT configuration and playing Hi-Res
flac files.

1. first i have my archive in main folders such as "albums" for standart
mp3 files, "lossless albums" for flac files, "soundtracks", "classical"
etc.

i would like to reach them as seperate libraries as in JRiver. on my SBT
under de albums i see them in one folder all mixed up. when i go thru
"music folders" on SBT, i see them as i pointed under dedicated folder
structure as i mentioned above but cannot play tracks in track number
order, it just plays in alphabetical order.

2. another issue on album covers. i store all my album covers in the
album folders named as front.jpg. problems occurs when there are more
then one disc, i have subfolders such as "disc 1", "disc 2". covers
cannot be displayed if there are subfolders in the main album folder.

3. scanning takes so much time, i don't want SBT rescan all the time.
what is the best and quickest way rescanning the music archive for
changes?

4. i can only get 44.1 while playing hi-res flac files. my DAC supports
up to 96 but i always get 44.1, i have choosen my coax cable one of the
preffered overe here, Wireworld Starlight, i don't it's the cable. what
should i do to play the flac as they are.

thanks in advance
