Users / Is LinuxMCE for me?
August 07, 2008, 05:36:38 PM
Hi all!
I have a collection of about 350 audio CDs and I am planning on making them all digital. I have a few questions to decide if LinuxMCE would be useful for me.
1. Ripping CDs and keeping them organized: Is it easy to (mass)-edit ID3-tags, how about scanning album covers and making them show up? Can anyone edit files or can I have an admin-login to edit info (don't want my sons to mess up my collection).
2. I'm planning on putting everything on an external USB harddrive. Will Kubuntu/LinuxMCE run fairly smooth and can it cause problems?
3. Different hardware. Because of the mobility of an external harddrive, I will be using LinuxMCE with different computers, does Kubuntu/LinuxMCE work well if hardware is constantly changed.
4. Language/UI/use. Is it possible to get language packs? I'm not a native english-speaker and neither are my sons, is the UI simple enough for them to browse my music?.
I hope you could help me with my situation here
thanks.
