SongBook ’11 and custom Twonky trees

May 10th, 2011 0

SongBook ’11 by default presents an album based view of your media files. This lets you filter your music down to find what you want. It has a lot more flexibility than the standard browse tree, but it also relies on more advanced twonky features. Some twonky users have customised their browse tree in a way that is not compatible with the new SongBook by removing groups that SongBook relies on. It’s not hard to fix this up once you are aware of what is required.

Most people with custom trees have used the tree that Briain (on various forums) has developed. Briain has updated this tree to work with SongBook ’11, so if you use Briain’s customised tree you should update to the latest version. It’ll still work the same with other control points, but will now also work correctly with SongBook ’11. Briain also tells me he has found some speed improvements, so it’s a good upgrade all around.

I’ve attached the files to this post so that you can download them directly from here. There’s two versions, one makes use of the AlbumArtist tag and the other doesn’t. The files contain all the standard twonky groups, but when you select ‘Advanced Default View’ in twonky you also get Briain’s improved music tree.

Briain has more information and installation instructions in a series of posts at the twonky forum.

Here’s the files…

And if you have customised the twonky tree yourself, as long as you leave the default groups available you should have no trouble. You can still change the tree in any way that you want, but SongBook relies on the “music/*” groups being available.
