I got this issue sorted out with the same program that I use to sync my
portable player. The app is called Syncback, it's a pretty cool
utility, it allowed me to copy out the directory structure of all files
except not copy any of the .ogg files. I set the output file
destination to my slimserve
Right, well I don't want to get into the logistics of sync'ing my
portable, cause ultimately the "image" of my portable drive works
extremely well with a sync'ing tool. But extracting my "randoms" and
putting them into the main slimserver directory seems to be the only
way to get around this prob

A second link
Hmm, jph and aubuti, thanks for the help so far. I kinda figured
something like this would be the "solution", although I'm still open to
any other options. This seems like it's a feature request, although I'm
not sure how popular it would be and I know a lot of others are waiting
on different fe
Ok, I get it now. This is still inelegant, but what about separating
your ogg and your non-ogg lossy formats? They could be different
directories on the same drive. Then point your link from the ape
partition to the non-ogg files.
And, for sync'ing your portable, put a link from the ogg space to

I feared I wasn't making myself clear. I want to access all the random
files (the ones that don't have a lossless counterpart) that I have
dispursed within all the ogg files, so that's why I added the link to
the lossy drive space. Doing this leads to my ability to access all
the random files (m
There may be more elegant solutions, but what about getting rid of the
link to the lossy collection? Presumably you have it there for a
reason, but it's not clear to me what. Or maybe put the link to the
lossy files one level higher in the tree than the lossless collection.
