[QUOTE="Phatteus, post: 97061, member: 27747"] One of the greatest things about MP (IMHO) is that it can use folder names as artist/albums. I am meticulous about my file storage- I find it is much easier than standardization of ID3 tags. I have several main music folders that I use for organizational purposes. The same artist can appear in each folder (trust me, there is sound logic to my approach!) For instance: Folder A Beatles Beatles - 1966 - Revolver Beatles - 1967 - Magical Mystery Tour Folder B Beatles Beatles - 1969 - Abbey Road The problem is that I must navigate to several top-level folders, instead of having all my music appear within one folder. If I am deep within Folder A and want to play Abbey Road, well, you see my dilemma -- all the way back up, into Folder B, and back down. Is there any way using MP that I can list all my Beatles albums in the same folder without changing my file/folder structure? So it appears as follows: Beatles Beatles - 1966 - Revolver Beatles - 1967 - Magical Mystery Tour Beatles - 1969 - Abbey Road I tried creating a new main folder and adding shortcuts to all my subfolders (this is how I did it back in the day with SlimServer), but MP does not see/follow the shortcuts. I hoping there is something obvious that I am missing... Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
