Music Folder

[Tim-Ann]

Hi there,

Using Tranquil WHS with latest SB server software but I have two folders with FLAC and MP3's in Music folder. But If I set my music folder as FLAC to scan it seems to scan all the music files in both the FLAC and MP3 folders can I stop this happening so it only picks up and uses my FLAC folder?

Many thanks, Tim.

Point only to the folder containing flacs rather than the folder that contains both flacs and mp3's.

HI there,

That is what I have done but it still picks up other music folders despite this?

Just loading 7.5.3 to see if that makes a difference?

Maybe if you describe your folder structure and how you have setup SBS, so others can visualise your problem?

What entry do you have in Basic Settings > Music Folder?

Sound like you have a similar folder structure to me.
I have
My Music/Home library/FLAC/Artist/Album/Title.flac
My Music/Home library/MP3/Artist/Album/Title.mp3
If i point SBS at Home Library it scans allmy files(this is my normal use).
Over the past few days I have pointed at the FLAC or MP3 folders for test purposes and it has scanned only the relevant files fine.

It sounds to me asif your folder structure isn't as you describe/think.
Let us know what your folder structure is and your basic settings as Bronze suggests so we can see what is going on.

Hi there,

I have a very simple structure, in the Music folder I have 3 folders Tim's FLAC. Tim's MP3's and Playlist that is it but despite pointing SB to uses only Tim's FLAC as my music folders it does nopt it pickes up both the FLAC and MP3 folders.

In SB Music folder \\SERVER\Music|Tim's FLAC

Current Squeezebox Server software is 7.5.3

Many thanks for your help.

Tim.

Any playlist that points to the mp3's ?

You don't have any shortcut linking to mp3 from flac ?

[Tim-Ann]

Hi there,

No the playlist has only been set to the FLAC files I just wanted to have my music all in the Music Folder and have removed other folders and done a clean rescan but firstly removing the playlist.

In SB Music folder \\SERVER\Music|Tim's FLAC

Is the vertical pipe (|) on purpose?

[Tim-Ann]

Hi there,

Not sure how it got there it is supposed to be a \ not vertical.

Many thanks, Tim.
