Just bought a logitech squeezebox, want to stream music with unraid, help needed

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

Until now i have this setup:

 

Unraid with movies, series, music, pictures, and homemade movies, trailers

 

For the Movies, series pictures and  trailers part, i use a dune base 3.0 to stream..

Together with unraid and yadis, this thing is really a beauty..

The only problem was music, each time i wanted to listen to music, i had to turn on the tv, to browse it..

 

I was fed up with it, so i bought a logitech squeezebox classic.

 

Now before i go into this, i probably need to organize things?

 

All my music is in one directory..

\Music

this has 2 maps:

\Music\Albums

and

\Music\rest

 

The albums containt my albums

The rest, is well, the rest

containing 2000 files, not sorted, different genres, different artists etc etc

 

I've already read a lot, and it seems i need proper tags? mp3tags?

How do i fill in those tags?

 

With 2000 files, i wont be a quick job :(

Once properly tagged, how should i sort things?

 

Once that is done, i need a squeezebox server running on unraid? Am i right? Or can i use something different for that in combination with the logitech sb?

Also when i do the tagging, do i need to tag the album art with it? Even with single files? Or does squeezebox server do this?

There are instruction in the Customization thread on installing squeezebox on unRAID... and there is a 5.0b11+ plugin to install it also.

Well i'm on unraid version 4.7

Am i right if i say i have 2 options?

Keep unraid version 4.7 and install the server there (using http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4595.0)

or go to latest beta version of unraid and install the plugin (using http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=16389.msg158266#msg158266) ?

correct on both accounts.

 

The beta plus plugin is probably the easier route.  I have not updated or looked into squeezebox for a long time now.

Hard choice :)

I cant get a 7.7 version of squeezebox working on 4.7 of unraid?

damn

 

I'm a bit afraid i will lose data if i go from unraid 4.7 to the latest beta...

But that would mean i can stick to unraid 4.7 but then i cant use latest version of squeezebox

Damn life is hard

 

I know this isnt the place to ask but how big is the chance i will lose data (movies) when i go from unraid 4.7 tot beta 14?

I just did the opposite because of NFS issues so I went from the newest beta to 4.7 and didn't lose a thing.

Been a while since I looked into mp3taging but there are some programs that will auto tag by scraping. The album art can be part of the tag i believe as SBS doesn't pull the album art itself.

 

I still have heaps in my various folder though :)

let us know how it goes.  I bought a cheap readynas to use since it had scqueezecenter built in but have scavenged the drive since hard drives are so pricey now.

ok i will

heaps?

 

Too lazy to get to the last few. The auto taging can't tag all files and album art can be hard to find for some.
