Hey. That may be it.
I have a slightly arcane environment (resulting from trial and error). I have a 3 PCs. One serving Firefly. This one has the iTunes library in “my music” on the c drive which knows about all the songs on an external drive and is scanned by Firefly. The other two PCs have an instance of iTunes each. Both share the iTunes library on the server but point to the songs folder on the external disc (so my kids can use their ipods and add new songs to the library easily). As a result of this I notice that there is a second library in the songs folder on the external disc.
I now have some more questions.
Should I move the main library to the song folder in the external disk and get Firefly to scan that instead?
Will that upset the iTunes library (i.e. now has the wrong paths)
How will i get Firefly to ignore the mp3s and only scan the iTunes library. Do i just remove the filetypes that are scanned.
[EDIT]. i have managed to shift my iTunes library to the same place as my songs but still cant see my playlists. In the iTunes folder there are three files
itunes library.itl
itunes library.xml
itunes music library.xmlDo I need all three? I notice that the first two have very similar file dates the third is 11 days older.
I think the ‘itunes music library” is the old one, and isn’t used anymore. It could safely be moved out of the way.
as far as the playlist issues, that’s another thing. Is it possible you could email me ([email protected]) a -d9 log of a full scan, as well as teh songs.db?
It *should* automagically fix up the paths and stuff from the xml file, but it’s obviously not doing something right. :/
