What's the point?
Authored by: tmpatrick on Mar 23, '07 02:06:41PM

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).

Note: It does require that I remove reference to the local files before that last step (or else there's duplication), but sorting the Library by Date Added helps me track down those files quickly. Hope this helps!

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.
