Installation & Configuration

You can find a guide for installing and configuring both the server and the client here. It is written by Patrik "Popeen" Johansson, the main Booksonic developer.

Adding bookinfo to the server

Book description: Create a new file in the folder of the book you want to add a description to. Call it "desc.txt". Anything you write in this file will be in the description.
 
Narrator: Create a new file in the folder of the book you want to add a narrator to. Call it "reader.txt". Anything you write in this file will shown as narrator.

Read this if you are comming from a 1.0.beta version

If you have a 1.0.beta version of the server please uninstall it before installing this release. This is a one time thing and will not happen if you change version in the future. If you want to keep your users take a backup of c:\subsonic\db\subsonic.script before you uninstall the beta version. After you have installed this release stop the server, rename the backup you took earlier to booksonic.script and put it at c:\booksonic\db\ There will be one there already, just replace that one.
