Explore mp3 collection? (1 Viewer)

[mastermindma]

I have just started using mediaportal and I'm really enjoying it.

One question i have though regards music playback.

Is there any way of displaying my music in an explorer style (ie. exactly the file structure you would see if using windows explorer). At the moment i have a large well organised mp3 collection but if you use the mp3 tags to sort them it becomes very disorganised.

On top of this the other reason is that media portal has trouble recognising new albums as they are added

I am using the following file structure for my mp3 collection:

m:\mp3s\red hot chili peppers\californication\red hot chili peppers - 01 - around the world.mp3

so i would like to just simply explore this mp3 folder in Mediaportal

thanks

Mark

Hi,
Use the "Shares View" this it's like browsing with explorer.
You can set this in My Music -> Switch View & select "Shares"

thanks for the help on this.

also i have noticed that when viewing the files in "Big Icon List" mode or in fact any mode other than "List" I am un-able to click the next folder. I only way to unfreeze this situation is to select "List" view.

Anyone understand what I am going on about?
