Music on my PC
Hi guys, I thought I'd throw in this thread as I know many of us use MMI with HDD, or SD cards.
Once upon a time I had a nicely organised music list, that was ordered by artist (including various artists compilations) then album...worked a treat. One bright and cheerful day, along came iTunes, and ruined the whole feckin' lot, but reorganising based on artist, then album. No compilations anymore they were spread far and wide across the terrabytes of space within my PC...this brought thunderous clouds across the A8_Tony household. So now we look for a solution. Is there a tool out there that will reorganise the physical files on my PC such that they are organised by artist/album, including compilations?......maybe the solution is to organise by album then artist, as this should achieve most of what I want, but I would like to be able to have: Artist (single artist albums) - Album 1 - Album 2 Various Artist - Album 1 - Album 2 Rather than: Artist - Artist Album 1 - Artist Album 2 - Compilation Album 1 -- Artist Track # Thanks in advance |

In iTunes I have a compilation folder at artist level which stops compilations getting spread everywhere

I created folders from A - Z
Then bunged everything in the appropriate letter (by artist) Once in a while I like to use random/shuffle but the MMI didn't seem able to handle this across the entire collection, just whatever album is currently selected. Pants. So... I created a playlist of everything on the HDD, then when I want to take pot luck, I select that playlist and activate shuffle. Works perfectly

The shuffle seems to work dependant on what folder you are in at the time
I have my folders seperated between > Girlfriend > Artist A - D, E - H, etc > Artist > Album Name > Tracks >Mine > Artist A - D, E - H, etc > Artist > Album Name > Tracks if you play a track under my folders, then hit shuffle, it will play ony tracks under mine, similiarly if you shuffle when already in an artist folder it would shuffle just these. if you do it from the root it would shuffle all tracks, if your in a playlist it shuffles the playlist.
