Don't use it myself but I see plenty of reports of happy users of multilibrary plugin. Regarding folders vs tags. LMS is designed to work with tags. Folders is not really meant to be the main approach to finding music to play. And just because one uses tags doesn't mean you can't also have a very useful, logical file structure. I have about 70,000 tracks. They are organized by; /Artist/Album/tracks.... So I can find anything by directory/subdirectory if I choose to. But all have good tags. And if your directory structure is good, one can use something like mp3tag to automatically create tags from the info contained in the file name or the directory and subdirectory location of the files themselves. mp3tag has a very good "mapping" function to do this in a batch way. (and mp3tag works with other than only mp3 files). Bottom line: for other than very small collections, browsing by folder is not going to be a good experience for LMS users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97403 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
