  1. A few thoughts and questions. Can you give some more information of how the shares and permissions are set up on the Mac that is your music server? Sharing an entire drive or sharing a folder / connecting from Guest account, User account, Admin account? What version of Mac OS is running on the machine you want to connect to from the Windows 10 PC? Is "Share files and folders using SMB" selected under the Options button in file sharing? Are you using a VNC client on the PC(s) to connect to Mac Screen Sharing, or only trying to manage files on shares?
  2. Jimmy Johnson - Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home
  3. The Joshua Redmond Elastic Band did an interesting cover of a tune called "The Crunge" on the Momentum album. The song is by a British blues/rock quartet who seem to have had some recognition in the music business. :-) And if I can stretch the definition of pop song back into the 1950's, I quite enjoy the gypsy jazz version of "On the Street Where You Live" by the Marc Atkinson Trio.
  4. Check out this discussion, it may help. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f10-music-servers/auto-login-macbook-pro-mac-mini-problem-19310/#post297130
  5. Ok, since you've brought it up... you mean hearing that as "Walking 'round in women's underwear"?
  6. Crystal Gayle - Don't It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue - misheard as "donuts make your brown eyes blue" Elton John - Tiny Dancer - "hold me closer Tony Danza" Almost forgot one of my favourites, I'm sure this will be on the kissthisguy list... From Deep Purple, Smoke on the Water - "slow walking Walter, the fire engine guy"
  7. She has some interpretations of songs that are just outstanding. If you are into buying physical media, Imagine is the CD to buy, IMHO. Check out her versions of Early Morning Rain, Imagine, It Doesn't Matter Anymore, You've Changed and Who Knows Where the Time Goes. Songbird also has fine versions of Fields of Gold and Over the Rainbow.
  8. All my faves are on the list here somewhere. The Who, Talking Heads, Little Feat amongst many others. I've still got my thrashed copy of 4 Way Street from high school. Alison Krauss and Union Station - live they are one of the tightest bands on the planet Bruce at Hyde Park - not strictly a live album, but the Blu-ray of that event is the closest you'll get to being there out of all his live vids And for more strange opening act/headliner combo trivia - how about Heart opening for April Wine? April Wine were also the draw to sell tickets to the El Mocambo for the Stones Live album recorded there
  9. That should work. Any protocol that works in the finder should also work with this approach. Apple has broke SMB in different OS versions along the way so watch for that if connecting to a Mac. For older Windows boxes you may also use cifs:// The .local is for name resolution. Behavior with SMB on you local network could vary depending on exactly what OS's are running. If you already have a Windows machine up and running it could be the master browser.
  10. Coming to this late, but thanks so much the wwaldmanfan for posting about Karla Bonoff Live. Lose Again still gives me chills.
  11. I Shall Be Released - Tom Robinson Band Rough, ragged, emotional build, great guitar solo, feeling of the vocals and music expresses the meaning I get from the lyrics.
  12. This was an interesting puzzle. This is a behaviour I have never really paid a lot of attention to, and I've use Mac's since 1984. Hunting around looking at possible solutions, it appears there are some inconsistencies in methods based on client and server OS versions. Here is a method that seems to work consistently for me. Open AppleScript Editor (from Utilities folder) and create a New Document. Make sure you select On My Mac if you are using a newer OS that defaults to iCloud. Enter the following line for each volume you want to mount automatically on the network server. mount volume "afp://server_name/volume_name" If your server was named after a cartoon, with volumes named for characters, your AppleScript Editor window contents might look like this... mount volume "afp://Flintstones.local/Fred" mount volume "afp://Flintstones.local/Barney" Save as an application, then add the application to your Login Items.
  13. It would be best to stay away from aliases while working this out. I believe the Login Items method should work even if the computer is set to auto login, provided the mounted network volume is included in the list of items to open at login. Try walking through the steps I described above using either an ip address for the Mini, or the name of the Mini with .local appended. If the Mini is called Fred, you would enter afp://Fred.local in Connect to Server.
  14. 'evening, Been lurking on here for a couple of years now, just signed up today. We should be able to find a method that works for you in your environment. I just tested adding a mounted network volume to Login Items and it seemed to stick for me in both cases of a logoff/logon, and a reboot. This was using a MacBook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.1 connecting to a Mini running Mavericks Server 10.9.1. I connected to a share on my Mini by using Go -> Connect to Server using afp://mini.local for my server address. When the list of shares came up I selected a volume from those presented then entered my account credentials and selected “Remember this password in my keychain”. Once the volume shared on the Mini was visible on my desktop, I opened System Preferences, selected my account, authenticated so I could makes changes, selected the Login Items tab and dragged the network volume icon from my Desktop into the Login Items list where it says "These items will open automatically...". I checked the Hide box so the volume would not open a window when mounting, and tested it logging out/in, and by rebooting. If this method has not worked on your systems, perhaps there is a permissions issue. Do the steps I have described sound like those you have tested before?
