I've been hoping to setup my Duet and 7.7.2 server on ReadyNAS to have at least 2 Libraries, mine and my wife, and to navigate through sub-menus as iTunes.
I purchased Multi Library and Custom Browse, and have only succeeded in creating menus showing on the remote, all empty of songs.
First, I better describe the idiosyncrasies of my Library, and why the iTunes structure works for me.
10 years ago I began to cross over to digital DJing using Traktor software, and started covering CDs and vinyl to wav and 320 MP3s. I was also then as now buying individual digital tracks off albums, from download stores like Boomkat that offer DRM-Free files. I have a folder in my Library of complete albums also, but I have a large folder of individual tracks that I DJ with, that has unique tagging. I have my own Genres, like "TripHipDubHop" that I can then filter with the Artist and Album fields. Artist is tagged with tempo/style names like "Upbeat" "Chill" etc, and Album with feel/mood names like "Eclectic" Playful" or "Moody". This allows me to quickly find and narrow down what I'm looking for. Title field has the real artist within it, and reflects the actual file name, like "Tricky - Hell is Round the Corner".
I mention all this because when I plug my iPod into a Dock with all these tagged files, I can navigate how I want.When I have gone through Genre to Artist then Album I only see the "Moody" songs that are "TripHipDubHop", whereas with Duet I get all the "Moody" songs for every Genre in many other folders.
So if anyone can list the steps using standard settings within the Server, and utilizing Custom Browse, I would be very grateful. I've looked over the wiki pages for the plugins but the steps aren't that clear, or not working for some reason.
Splitting the Library into 2 should have been easy I would have thought with Multi Library but the entries in the menu as I said earlier are empty of songs....
Cheers
