Here is another plugin for MusicBrainz Picard which should accomplish the mood tagging. I found this after realizing the lastfmplus plugin was not working for me. I read somewhere that it stopped working after a change in the last.fm site but cannot seem to find it now. Can anyone confirm?

Thought I would post snipit of bash to help others lol works on linux but should run on any system with bash and find. This will find all folders named 'compilation' in the path and make a file called 'madsonic_dir.tag' in that folder. find /full/path/to/music -type d -name 'compilation' -exec bash -c "cd '{}' && touch madsonic_dir.tag" \; Can be used for more. I think people can work the rest out....

Would someone be able to publish the settings for 'not transcoding' for various audio formats? My home network is generally fast enough tot stream my FLACs at full res, but I'm never quite sure what the settings are meant to be to do this? As a follow up, if I'm able to stream FLAC it stands to reason that I can also stream anything smaller than that too (I have a few OGGs and MP3s) it strikes me there's no reason in...

Yes, I understand it's for the server. That's what the first part of my question referred to. Can I use the script to upgrade the server from 5.x to 6.x? What is the implication of your comment about migrating the data? Is upgrading the server with the script not sufficient? Also is the current release of the Android client compatible with 6.x?

Quite an old but interesting topic. runnning on a synology 1815+ with a 2.4GHz CPU and 6GB of Ram. The HW is idle most of the time (except when java freaks out), when doing database-searches, but I found my browser (Firefox 50.x with a huge amount of addons to protect privacy, an UI-comfort, etc.) might be the bottleneck.

Is anyone else having issues with any of the 6.0 or 6.1 versions deploying in Tomcat? I'm on a QNAP NAS and am overwriting the .war file with the newer file but it will not deploy. Do I need to wipe out my 5.1 instance on the server first and then deploy? I swear I've tried that and it wouldn't install the WAR package as a whole for 6.0 or 6.1. Thanks.

The short version... It just changes the way files are displayed in the left column. i.e. numbers first or last, XYZ displayed together or as X, Y, Z separately and so on. The Settings/General panel controls and explains it. I'm not sure about the random list as I don't keep up with all the changes. I have suggested that the left column dictate what appears in the main panel so that you only see in "Random"...

Thanks and I didn't mean to be so impatient. :| I searched the forums but I wasn't sure if Genre browsing had been implemented. I checked back every week or so because i was anxious to try a Subsonic mod. I went ahead and installed Music Cabinet but I will certainly give Madsonic another look. Does Madsonic also create Artist Radio? Thanks again!
