I just thought it would be awesome if there was a way to send out a newsletter of sorts to every user with all of the newest additions to the server.
Could just be a simple email with a list of the last 50 additions or something. Is there anything like this out there yet?

In a daily cron job. Unless you're using Windoze, in which case it's probably a lot harder.

Can anyone elaborate on this further for users on windows?

This is not how you would implement this feature on a Windows system. It's a *ix specific hack that produces a rather ugly list of all files (file names) added to some media folder the last seven days and sends it out as a non-formatted email.

ok...does anyone know of a feature or workaround that will make an itemized list of recently added albums or folders and put it in an email and then send it to email addresses of my listeners? I'd love for this to be a feature, but doesn't seem like such exists. Can anyone tell me how one might make this happen outside of subsonic?

It totally depends on what's in your toolbox. But I'd say you need some kind of programming skills (or a friend with programming skills). Everything's there for you, you just need some glue to make the different parts come together.

Thanks for this mikes,
i did some changes:
- Code: Select all
"find /path/to/music/folder -type d -ctime -7 -print | perl -pe 's#^/path/to/music/folder##' | mail -s "Music, added in the past 7 days" destination@mail.address -Fsendername"
if you are using a smarthost (relayhost) add:
- Code: Select all
"-fsource@mail.address"
behind
- Code: Select all
"destination@mail.address"
The output should look like this:
- Code: Select all
