After my initial install debacle things work pretty much like you say. It's interesting to look at how different authors like things sorted. While this music player does all you said the way it lists things drives me nuts. I've been very metucilus about tagging all mp3's on the system with correct info etc. For some artists, things work great. for others, they can be all over the place. For example any artist that does a duet or two gets listed many times depending on how many others they sing and play with. My wife's classical collection is just nuts. Every orchestra plays with many guests players or guest conductors those all get listed seperatly. It makes it impossible to find anything, especially those things that were all in the same album and still are but are listed by seperate artists now. For example my wife is an opera and musical buff. she has hundreds of recordings. However since it's often listed in the ID3 tag in artist as the person who did that particular peice, all those recordings get broken up by artist and it's impossible for her to play a musical in tact or even find a peice within if she's forgotten who sang it.

Just an observation, take it for what it's worth.

Yes i can see how that could be annoying. The processing on artists in this case is very basic, it would only take a letter out of place to create "a new artist".

The only possible 'solution" I could image is to try and extract multiple artists from an artist Tag, say James Horner, feat Celine Dion could potentially be listed as 2 artists for the same piece of music.

Then looking under James Horner, or Celine Dion would pull out the same title.

Is this what you mean?? It would actually take a bit of a re-design, but is not out of the realm of possible.

On a side note, how does Windows Media Player, or Winamp deal with your Wife's collection??

That would probably be a help.Classical collections are a pain in the butt anyway. Rarely a real name, just some op number few know what they mean. I've structured my directories like
Genre/Artist/Album/Songs
I added the Genre mostly for Jukebox so i can drop a noindex text file in the root and Jukebox won 't choose anything from there to play. Works for parties where no one wants to hear her classical or musical collections or any of the kids stuff.

WMP 10 does an OK job of it. it seems to list things twice. Still not great but better. I've not used Winamp so i can't comment on that. I don't really play music at the PC except for a quick test listen after an edit. What I'd like to see is for it to sort on the album artist as opposed to the songs artist. That way things would be kept together and not muddled up when a guest appears.

Just trying out this plugin for the first time

would it be possible to have a small change so that if the file noindex.txt exists in a folder then that folder and any folders below it do not get added to the database

does the plugin display the folder.jpg file when the tracks are playing ?

thanks

I could do the no-index. I'll make it work when the library is read. So if you want to make a directory not in the database that was previously, add the no-index.txt and it wont list in the database.

What I'll also add, is noplay.txt This one excludes the directory from a random playlist.

I don't think I'll be adding any folder images at the moment. Maybe a later release
