Putting lossless and lossy copies of the same tracks together is not a good idea with SBS, because SBS has no straightforward way of choosing between the different copies. My approach to this is to keep lossless and lossy in completely separate branches of the directory tree. I have three main folders, which can be summarized as:
/music/home [contains all my lossless tracks] /music/mobile [contains MP3 copies of the lossless tracks] /music/common_mp3 [contains tracks I have _only_ in MP3] Then I have symlinks in /music/home and /music/mobile that each point to /music/common_mp3. That way every track is included once, and only once, if I point at either the lossless or the lossy branch. I use the 'home' for home use and the 'mobile' for my laptop and portable players. In Windows you would use shortcuts instead of symlinks. As for single FLAC files, that is indeed overcomplicating your life. FLAC playback with SBS is gapless and has been for a long time. Some people swear by single FLAC files and cue sheets, and I imagine they work fine, but you don't need them. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86240 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
