I guess i'm kinda confused about genre setup, so let's see if this is right!
Music,
Genre,
Artist,
song.
ChalkyWhite:
I believe PileDriver to be correct at the top of page 14 of this thread in that it goes...
music folder\genre\artist\album\songs.mp3
e.g. my music\Pop\Robbie Williams\Live at Knebworth\01 Angels.mp3
You can tell I'm English, and eagerly awaiting Robbie's tour next year! ;)
Cheers, Chalky
digitaldj:
What would be nice is for it to be changed and not have to put genre folder at beginniong of every artist.
If it could be changed to this:
My Music
Genre(Country)
Artist\Songs
Artist\Songs
Genre(Rock)
Artist\Songs
Artist\Songs
Otherwise if you have hundreds of folders then they all have to be changed.
Is this possible SK?

This is how the Genre system already works (unless I'm misunderstanding you). You can have as many albums under one Genre as you like, for example :
Pop\
Pop Artist 1\Album
Pop Artist 1\Album 2
Pop Artist 2\Album
Pop Artist 3\Album
Pop Artist 3\Album
Rock\
Rock Artist 1\Album
Rock Artist 1\Album 2
Rock Artist 1\Album 3
Rock Artist 2\Album
So, if you want to rename Rock to something else, renaming the directory will apply it to the 2 artists/4 albums in my example setup.

I like the way SKJukebox does Genres. Of course, it was my 'wish list' item.
I guess, in a nutshell, here's what I see as the issue being raised: Where do singles go? How about compilation albums?
ROCK
Billy Joel albums
Greatest Hits Volume 1
Songs
Greatest Hits Volume 2
Billy Joel Singles
Uptown Girl
The hierarchy listed here isn't uniform. The 'system' works best if a fake album is created to house the singles. To function best, the song has to be at the fourth folder level.
ROCK
Billy Joel
Greatest Hits Volume 1
songs
Greatest Hits Volume 2
songs
Billy Joel Miscellaneous
Uptown Girl
Of course, then there's no artwork for the fake album. I tend to create fake artwork or download suitable images for the fake 'albums'.
If the majority of a person's collection is composed of complete CD's or LP's, the Genre system doesn't require much work.
If the majority of a person's collection consists of individual .mp3's obtained from 'various sources', or never grouped by artist and album, then they may have some real work to do to get the whole genre/album image/songlist structured to where it works.
It's worth the work on the user's part. Great program.
