LMS hasn't created any folders or moved any files -- the folder/file structure on your hard disk is exactly how you made it. What you're seeing is a list of menus -- 'views' -- of your music files, based on their tags or other attributes that LMS can determine (eg, how often you play things for Top/Flop tracks). LMS enables you to browse your music in a wide variety of ways, and to create custom menus that meet any specific needs you may have. Fwiw, the "Music Folder" menu will let you browse the folder structure of your music library as it exists on your hard disk, if that's the way you prefer. You can disable any of the existing menus that you don't want using the interface at LMS > Settings > Player (tab) > Additional Browse Modes Just untick the ones you don't want and click "Apply" at the bottom right. 27885 (NB. You won't see "Living Room" -- that's just the name I gave one of my players -- you'll see whatever your player is called.) +---+ |Filename: chrome_2019-08-09_17-07-14.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=27885| +---+ SpiderJon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21798 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110845 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

How many times do you need to be told? They are not folders, they are Menu items. You can remove/hide some of these Menu Items by going to LMS > Settings > Player Tab > Additional Browse Modes, and unchecking those you do not wish to see, click "Apply" bottom right. This will also remove these items from your PCP screen. However, you cannot change the way LMS functions. If you don't like how LMS functions, you can always seek out a different music server.

Something did create all those folders on LMS and organized the folders and records in a certain way. I did not. I think what you're referring to isn't "folders", but menus, or categories in the UI.

I assume it has to be stored in some temp file, or will it disappear when I turn my PC off or reboot Firefox. Where are those folders located? Can I rearrange them in a different way? The only thing I did, on the LMS setup, was to tell it where my Music folder was. Inside it, the only organization I did was by artist. Inside it other artist folder there were subfolder, the end folders being the albums, with the themes inside.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Organizing folders in Logitech Media Server
The layout of the files on the source storage system has not changed. The data from those files has been ingested by LMS and stored in a database. What you see when you use one of the players or the web interface to LMS are various views on that database. You can think of them as folders if you want but that is not the term used by the software ... unless you click on “Music Folder”. Some of the software allows you to move or hide menu items (those database views).

It's on my LMS web page, so It took out artists names, for instance, that were inside separate folders, and organized them alphabetically in an "All artists" folder, something I would never do. And that's just an example. I would prefer to do my own organization, and certainly eliminate the ones I don't need. +---+ |Filename: PCP#9.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=27882| +---+ carlmart's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110845 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Organizing folders in Logitech Media Server
Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to organize the folders in LMS? The way it automatically did in my system, just with one folder where all my music is, is quite confusing. It created folders with artists names and things like that, which I really do not want, and it created a lot of folders I find useless. There certainly is a way to manually do all this, isn't it?
