You need ONE main Music folder - you can have sub-folders under that.
You must specify in squeezebox server the location of the Main folder.

How are the files stored on your hard disk? A fairly standard way of
doing it is to use an organized folder structure, such as
\artist\album\tracks. From what you describe, it sounds as if you don't
have that kind of folder structure. If that is the case, my advice is to
organize the artists,
I have one main music folder in IE with sub folders of different
artist,but the sub folders don't show in SB.If I go to IE and click on
the Beatles folder all the tracks come up. Why don't I see the Beatles
folder in SB so that I can just click on that and see all the tracks.

OK I think I have it figured out. How do you delete tracks out of SB?

Yes and of course you would first delete the files from your hard
drive or move to a location outside the music folder that SbS points
at.

@ Jac - try www.mp3tag.de/en for organising your mp3 folders.
Here's the folder structure I use, and it works very well with
SqueezeCenter.
C:\Music\Artist\Album\01-track01.mp3; 02-track02.mp3 etc (for
single-artist discs)
C:\Music\COMPS\Album\01-track01.mp3; 02-track02.mp3 etc (for

No, BMF will display what you have on the disk, not what's in the DB.
Then how would one organize 6000 various titles.
There are apps out there which can reorganize your files according to
album/artist tags etc.

In the file system you don't have to mix them. In SqueezeCenter you
don't have much choice - they're going to be mixed in.
