What's the point?
I didn't understand this at first either, but after a while I did. Since the Linux box is wireless, transferred a whole CD worth of ripped music back and forth could be very slow. This allows the author to rip "locally" and edit (each tag edit is another write to the disk, and the local disk will be much faster). When he's done, remove from iTunes, drop back onto iTunes (copies to Linux and makes entries in iTunes), remove local copies. Done.
What's the point?
Exactly. Because the server is connected wirelessly, everything slows to a snail's pace. For playback, it's totally fine, but for importing, it takes forever, and updating (even text fields, much less artwork) is painfully slow. This way, I can do a batch of CDs, update everything locally, then move it over all at once (overnight).
What's the point?
tmpatrick, I do like you do when I import songs on a wireless computer with my library on a central server. In order to remove the local songs, I have a smart folder where I have "date added" set to "today". No need for sorting and I see only files added during the last 24 hours. |
