[QUOTE="Phatteus, post: 97117, member: 27747"] Greetings hwahrmann and CHli -- I've read so many of your posts over the last few weeks.... always helpful. I think I understand what you mean about scanning everytime- that would suck. I was thinking that there might be a way of consolidating the top-level music folders when displaying them. Even duplicate entries would not matter if behind the scenes each entry pointed to the correct file (which in fact was not a duplicate). I [I]could [/I]go the ID3 route as you mentioned, CHli, but there are special cases, such as soundtracks, classical compilations, and various artist recordings where I am more concerend about the album than the artist.... e.g. When I want to hear "Man of Constant Sorrow" I head for my soundtracks folder and pull up the "O Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack, rather than look for the "Soggy Bottom Boys" (or is it "[I]The[/I] Soggy Bottom Boys"?) in my list of artists. I guess I'm different from most users in that I think in terms of albums instead of tracks. Am I showing my age???? Thanks for the comments anyways, and for the quick responses as well. [/QUOTE]
