Re: playlists

dean -
i've attached a simple m3u file that contains a list of all the tunes
in the folder it resides. it works fine on my
server.

Thanks. Could you resend it zipped (or gzipped, or stuffed)
into an archive? I want to make sure the file comes through bit
for bit without any mailers in the way?

what is
interesting for version 2 of the software is that:

1. the
m3u file gets listed last (instead of first) - meaning if you play the
parent folder it will play all the tunes in it (better than
before)

The fix I just made for 2.1 reverts to the earlier behavior of
not playing the contents of playlists when you play the folder
containing them. When you play a folder, it just plays the songs
(recursively) in that folder. If you want to play the playlist,
select the playlist and press PLAY.

2. it
will then get to the m3u file and say <empty> - which as you can
see it isn't (i realise that there may be user-stupidity at large
here) - whether i use the player remote or browser

Hmm... I haven't seen this. I'll try to reproduce.

3. the
id3 tags work well for finding things - though i had
a

\genre\j-m\artist\album style system before
which works pretty well. i couldn't have found everything by
pink floyd from 1982 though. i better get all the tags sorted
then!

I've got the same problem. Before I fixed all my file names
and folder names, but now I've got to fix my tags! That's
progress for you...
