I don't think you need to be too complicated here. You could leave "your" titles that are also of interest to the kids where they are, and have the dedicated sub-directory for their own music. Just add the relevant genre tag to your titles and they will show up for the kids. If there aren't too many of these, shouldn't be too hard to manage a transfer to some other location, and avoids the issue of duplicates. The kids cold just learn how to genre-tag these titles themselves, so they can pick and choose. R.
