you, Tim that is a good place to start at least I had my whole collection in MP3
mostly, when a neighbor supposed fellow tech convinced me that WMA was the
better file compression than MP3. In retrospect I wish I'd done it in FLAC
or OGG, but oh well such is life... Perhaps when I'm bored and have everything
the way I want it. I'll hung up the script you mentioned and take it from
there.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[mythtv-users] Noob Question....<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hi Joshua.<BR><BR>For you
playlist question: The playlists are stored in the MySQL database.
No file is saved. Personally, I found Myth's implementation of playlist
generation a bit awkward. I have all of my music on my linux box and use
Winamp ( on a windows PC ) to generate playlists in M3U format. There's
a script floating around called 'm3u2myth.pl' that will insert an M3U playlist
into the MySQL database.<BR><BR>I'm not sure why MythTV crashes during the
database build, sorry.<BR><BR>I'm not sure what you mean by "making music more
dominant", but you modify the menus however you want. Just copy the XML
files you wish to change ( e.g. mainmenu.xml ) to your ~/.mythtv folder and
edit it to your hearts content. I removed things I didn't need.
You might want to remove everthing but music. *shrugs* <BR><BR>I'm also
not familiar with the ratings system but I there is a field called "rating" in
the musicmetadata MySQL table. You would probably have to re-rate all of
your music.<BR><BR>Personally, I don't use WMV. I'm a fan of MP3 ( I
know, I know... shocked and apalled, whatever ).<BR><BR>Anyway, I hope I've
given you some idea.<BR><BR>^^Deon: Joshua's messaged popped up as a
