If you move to LMS on Linux in due course then the following is the sort of structure that people will probably recommend /storage/Music/FLAC /storage/Music/WAV /storage/Music/Mp3 /storage/Music/playlists The first three folders would be set to be scanned Underneath FLAC, WAV or Mp3 would be artist/album/tracks NB. The advice to put playlists outside of the scan tree is to stop LMS reading the contents of any playlist as additional items - there have been cases of multiple albums being inserted into the database when only one really exists. Another Windows only problem was shortcuts where a folder may contain an accidentally created shortcut up a level. This used to cause the scanner big problems. It may have been fixed but I don't know.
