How have you got your music files organised on your hard drive? It does rely on there being a single root directory with a directory for each artist containing their albums in further sub directories: c:\music |- artist 1 | |- album 1 | |- album 2 |- artist 2 | |- album 1 | |- album 2 and so on. At the moment it only searches for mp3's as that's what I use for my music. I did intend to get it to search for other types of music file, but I have never got round to it!. Michael,

Thanks for your feedback.

How have you got your music files organised on your hard drive? It does rely on there being a single root directory with a directory for each artist containing their albums in further sub directories:

c:\music
|- artist 1
| |- album 1
| |- album 2
|- artist 2
| |- album 1
| |- album 2

and so on.

At the moment it only searches for mp3′s as that’s what I use for my music. I did intend to get it to search for other types of music file, but I have never got round to it!.

Upon its use it appears that it's finding all tracks by the same artist and the same album. I'd suggest using album artist instead. Also, the ability to specify more than one file type would be handy, or maybe I'm just not sure how they're delimited. This is a feature I’ve been searching for in my media programs.
