![]() Still use Max occasionally when XLD balks. Trying these apps made me wish/think of Play. I’ll see him this weekend and if I remember to do so I will see about it. I have not bothered my son-in-law (yet) to test his Audirvana. I have tried Musique, Colibri, PinePlayer, & Strawberry. (I note that these many years later Swinsian still has that feature and Apple hasn’t barked at them.) More reason to think Swinsian is doing something “special” is that I can find no other player that remembers/follows files that have been added to their library. ![]() You said Swinsian developers were able to do that by using/doing something Apple probably wouldn’t approve of. I remember many years ago asking you for Decibel v1 to have an easy toolbar button to locate/connect a networked output, and to remember that choice, as did iTunes, now as does Music. I do wonder if this is a legit facet of Swinsian. Is why the sync folder, as I wish it could be, was so appealing. Adding 1 by 1 to Decibel will be very taxing at times. Worse is when a CD has more than one composer and/or more than one composer/orchestra. Even worse is classical where the directories are composer based, then by conductor, and separate directories for orchestra. Not impossible but can be a minor/major pain in the butt. I must go 1 by 1, adding the folder to the directory, then adding to Decibel. Their final destination is for the one artist’s directory but this directory already has a huge number of folders. Imagine having 5 newly ripped CDs, all by the same artist, and needing them to be put into Decibel’s library. This is easier for me than what I would/will need to do if I keep with Decibel (which I would SO much prefer!). When I want to play something that was one place when I added it to Music’s (or Swinsian’s) library, but is now someplace else, Music/Swinsian finds it and plays it. Nor is the 1 by 1 necessary as Music.app is able to follow where the albums go. This is much easier than doing it one album by album, placing them in their final directory and then finding them, 1 by 1, and then adding to Decibel. When I am adding several albums a day, once ripped, I take them from their ripped location, add them to Music.app’s library, and then move them to their final location in my carefully managed files structure - in Finder just dropping them onto their final directory and letting Finder place them accordingly. Music.app and Swinsian somehow keep track of where files are once added to their libraries. Since my huge sync folder is problematic I have been thinking about how I manage my library. Not as easy & instant as El Evil One, but I managed, & I will again.
