Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Script/ app to rename folders, please...
This is the type of stuff that is pretty trivial in a smart DB-driven media management program. I'm not sure of the complete list of apps that provide this, but certainly one that several of us forum members use does the trick. Try the free Media Jukebox by J. River. Use the Library Tools->Rename, Move and Copy files command, and fill in the field names you desire for both folders and file names. It will show you examples of how it will work before you hit OK. -- MrC MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71210 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

[SlimDevices: Unix] Script to rename folders, please...
Does anyone perhaps have a script (bash, perl, python or whatever) or other tool that can do or be modified to do the following: - traverse a directory tree - for each folder pick any flac file in the folder - get the Artist and Album name - compare the directory name against "artist - album" - if it's different, rename the folder to match Something like the above would be really handy to ensure my album folder naming conventions are consistently applied across my entire library (which is not the case at the moment) at the push of a button. -- audiomuze audiomuze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33613 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71210 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Just a different upgrade/maintenance philosophy. A common strategy in the open-source world is to keep up-to-date on "stable" releases. What you're doing is being a little more cautious, figuring that the REAL "stable" is stable + a few months of bug fixes. What do I get? A bunch of new features sooner. Plus a few issues to work out, but I'm OK with that. My experience with ubuntu distro upgrades has been OK, and every one has had fewer problems than the previous. -- alex.yz alex.yz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69232 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Ubuntu newbie question
For the VortexBox music server/NAS Linux distro we use 20GB for / and put the rest on /storage. I recommend formatting /storage partition with XFS or EXT4 there files systems work much better for large storage volumes then the default ext3. If your setting up a new system you may want to take a look at the VortexBox linux distro. It's designed to be a music server for SqueezeBox.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Ubuntu newbie question
If possible, it's even better to take it a step further by making your OS reside on a completely seperate disc. This makes OS and machine upgrages/changes very easy. This is especially useful if you are running a green 1TB drive. These drives are not optimized for speed but for energy usage. Because of this, they are better suited as data drives rather than OS drives. If you do put the OS and data on the same drive, then yes, make the OS partition as small as you can.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Ubuntu newbie question
It is good practice to separate OS and data on different partitions. When you decide to wipe your OS you can do so without worrying much about your data (carefulness is always needed though) and furthermore you can mount your music partition readonly, which is somewhat more secure than read/write access (backup is still imperative!). When you need to change tags or add new music you simply mount the partition in rw mode manually. About the size of your partitions, give the OS partition a big enough margin to eventually hold newer Ubuntu releases and also a GUI system. 500GByte should be fine for your first music partition, you can still partition the rest of your drive when you need it and integrate that space later. Maybe you want to try another OS, then it comes in handy that you didn't use up all the remaining space before. signorRossi. -- signor_rossi signor_rossi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11941 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71183 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

[SlimDevices: Unix] Ubuntu newbie question
Hi, I have just started building a music server running Ubuntu 8.04(LTS). Everything seems to be going OK but I wanted to know how people set up their disc partitions. I have a single 1Tb disc. Is it good practice to create a "small" partition for the OS and then a "large" one for my music library? I only need about 350Gb for music right now but obviously this will grow. For now I am using a 500Gb usb disk for backup so it might make sense to limit the music library partition to 500Gb for now?
