Hi !
This my first message on this forum : I hope you will forgive my bad english and maybe that I didn't find the answer somewhere else in the threads.
I rip my CDs using EAC in a unique file + cuesheet, then compress the ..wav file with flac and then tag the .flac file with metaflac. All a CD in one file because I want to be able to lossly compress in the future without having to deal with the CD and having to guess "with or without gaps ?", in three steps because I carefully tag my files and beacause the --no-utf8-convert option in metaflac is the only method by which I can see circumflexes, acutes and so on (sorry, guys, I'm french ;-) ) in Slimserver.
I use Slimserver 5.3.1 (5.4.0 since this morning) on XP SP2, wired and wireless squeezeboxes.
1. I can play the tracks I want but when I save them in a playlist, the whole flac file is saved not the track (xxx.flac, not xxx.flac#aaa-bbb in the m3u file) so the playlist is useless.
Is this something you encountered or do I make something wrong ?
2. All the classic tags are perfect and I can browse albums, browse artists, browse genres but when I browse Music folder and select one of my flac files, all I can see is an empty line (finishing with "Play" and "Add to playlist" icons). Obviously, no sound...
What am I doing wrong, what am I supposed to see and what is the corresponding tag ?
3. I managed to get thumbnails of my flac files (in discrete folders for each file, with cover.jpg). If I would like to only have artist folders and the same name (without extension ofcourse) for the .flac file and the .jpg file, what would I tag ?
I tried some ARTWORK=filename.jpg, COVER=... without success.
That's all ! I have some more questions but I think I need to explore a little bit more before boring you with stupid questions.
Thanks for reading and your advices.
David
