I've got a situation that I hoped multi library would be able to cope
with.

I have a library of music (F:\My Music), which is all neatly organised,
is encoded using FLAC, has cover art installed for every album with
consistent naming conventions etc.

My nephew would like to be able to listen to the music around the house
using our 4 zone music installation. At the moment it is installed in
F:\Ed's Music.  Frankly it is a mess, most of it has been encoded at
128k mp3, there are lots of albums with only one track, and about 200
odd tracks in the root folder. I'd say only about 60% of the tags are
formatted incorrectly and there's no consistency.

>From my experiments so far the only way that I'd be able to use it with
multi library would be to make it a sub-folder of F:\My Music.

If I did that then it would mess up every other user's browsing
experience, when using the standard browsing menus expecially as each
zone has a dedicated Nokia N800.

Is there a way of including his folder so that I can set up a custom
browse filter for him to use, and at the same time hide his music from
users using the standard slimserver interface?
