[QUOTE="ZetaVu, post: 73459, member: 17069"] Ok, built a new music databas, this time had it treat tracks in individual folders as an album. Now if I don't have albums selected under for tracks under an artist, it does not list them as individual unknown albums but as one unknown album under artist. Now, mpblue does not lock when I select this unknown album, but it will not expand to list the songs under that album and it will not play the unknown album folder. I can still play all the songs by that artist by selecting artist name, but I can't see the specific songs in the unknown folder. If I do not set this checkbox when making a music library, then each song without an album has its very own unknown album folder containing one song. I can select individual songs to play and list them, but it is cumbersome. So, I see three possible solutions. First being you are able to adjust mpblue to read from these unknown album files created by media portal. Simplest way I think to test is just to save a couple songs with unknown album, set the checkbox and build test database. Second, can you screen so that if no album shows up, it just lists the songs rather than the unknown album. This may be a media portal issue, not something you can change. Lastly, I could of course just put bogus album names in for songs without albums, but this might screw up lyric searches etc. I of course cpuld put the real album names in, but I really don't want all these albums appearing in album view that have 1-2 songs in them. I was thinking of using WMP to take all songs with no album and call the album UNKNOWN, turn off that checkbox to treat tracks in individ folders as album and that should fix it. However, I figure I'll see if you can do anything with this info first. One last point, you really need to index the songs to artist otherwise mpblue locks when loading music library. [/QUOTE]
