[QUOTE="druid9, post: 327578, member: 28347"] Sheesh, is this bash the music section week? I used to post a lot in the music section, because that is what brought me to MP in the first place. Nowadays it just works, so no reason to post really, other than to say:thx: once audio files are properly tagged, (I know its a PIA), the database (not shares) views allow so much flexibility I reckon anyone looking for further functionality ought to take a deep breath and spend more time listening and less time clicking if you know what I mean. I still am surprised by how many control freaks still want to second guess the database functionality of MP, and impose folder views, or NAS views or some other such. Just tag the files and let MP do the rest. If you must put folder structures in place, go right ahead, but get the tags right and the database will be fine.
