[Abcde-users] FW: Abcde and aiff

[Dry Martini Holding Company]

I have setup up the new server. I took a couple of CDs and 
ripped/converted to aiff. I transferred them to the backup streaming 
server (also Rune). These newly loaded albums displayed in all 
categories as I would expect.

So there is no problem with Abcde. The problem seems to be that the DB 
on my regular server is somewhat corrupted, and does not update as it 
should.


I will call this fixed. I appreciate everyone's assistance. It kept me 
motivated to figure out what was causing this problem!

Cheers,

Robert
