Older flash-based MP3 players and OS X metadata
Authored by: taxi on Jun 25, '05 12:36:06AM

I have an NSLU2 where I store all of my Music, and this device also shares it with a PC and an Xbox, so having these dot-underscore files is a pain in the arse for me too.

I have a cronjob which removes them, using the find command, but I do have one question.

I understand this is where OSX stores all of it's meta-data - if I delete these files will this remove the ability to use Spotlight to search these files?

(I'm not running Tiger yet anyway, but might be nice to know).

Good question! I've got Tiger on a 2nd drive -- I'm not quite ready to run it full-time yet -- and I'll try to remember to test this out with some files when I boot to Tiger.
