I also keep same file structure .../Artist/Album/tracks.... but I wasn't aware I can use mp3tag to get tags from it. Thanks for that! never really digged mp3tag... will definitely spend more time to try know it better.. Probably will get round multi library plugin as well to see if it would work for me... ohh Not sure why I haven't done it yet, but sometimes Im just affraid that after messing about I will 'loose' existing working configuration and would have to spend hours to get it back to state where it was in first place O_O... I'm getting more frustrated and less patient with age.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jaca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58187 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97403 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
