EncryptorI am sorry .... I just saw your request within this post now.
The solution is easy for you.
You do NOT have to rename all your files to have 3 digit numbers. The software will read in the library and will make each track number to be 3-digits for you automatically. Basically, if the track numbers within your file name are NOT 3 digits then the software will append leading zeros to the track number for you.
Also, please note you do not have to include track numbers in your filename at all. My software will number the track names for you if they are not there. The only advantage of including numbers yourself within the filename is so you can determine the order your songs will be listed within the album view (ie: the albums will be listed from lowest to highest track number order).
Now, the reason why your songs are NOT being loaded is because you are not really using the correct library format. You were missing the
artist directory part of the structure.
The correct format is as follows: ....\(commonDirectory)\(artistNameDirectory)\(albumNameDirectory)\song.mp3
Based on your screen shot ... I would set up a directory structure as follows:
C:\UncleTs Jukebox\Music\Top 100 Songs\Pop - Love Songs (1950-2006)\yourSongs.mp3
C:\UncleTs Jukebox\Music\Top 100 Songs\Billboard 1975\yourSongs.mp3
C:\UncleTs Jukebox\Music\Styx\Greatest Hits II\yourSongs.mp3
C:\UncleTs Jukebox\Music\Styx\The Grand Illusion\yourSongs.mp3
You can see I added in an
artist directory level now. I created a
Styx artist directory and placed the two albums "Greatest Hits II" and "The Grand Illusion" inside the Styx artist directory. For your song compilation groupings I used
Top 100 Songs as an "artist" and used "Pop - Love Songs (1950-2006)" and "Billboard 1975" as the albums.
You just need to have the artist level directory existing, thats all.
Also, since you are providing track numbers within your filenames, then make sure you go into the Options/Misc(page1) and set the "Tracks already have assigned numbers" option. While you are there, you might want to set the "Display 000) Play all files" options as well ....... this option will result in a "000)" track number being created for each album which you can select which means "play all the songs" in the album so you do not have to select each song individually.
Ok, once you have the library directory structure created appropriately, then simply go into the "Options/Music Directories" page and add the
C:\UncleTs Jukebox\Music directory into the "Music Paths Selected" section and then click on the "Update Album List" button. Everything should get loaded for you and the software should use your own supplied track numbers.
Just a note .... the track numbers do not have to be in order either. You could have three song files and the track numbers for each could be 10, 20 and 34. This allows the user to keep the original track numbers for the song within the album even though the user might not have "all" the songs within the album itself. Just thought I would mention it.
Hope this makes sense.
Now, after you have this working, I would recommend adding at least 10 "albums" for testing the software so you can get a better idea of what all the options can do for you. (ie: using my directory above means you only have 4 albums right now). Just a recommendation of course.
Anyway, if you have any other questions then just ask .... you know where I am at. Oh yeah ..... please open a new thread is you have any more questions though ..... lets keep this thread to announce new version releases only.
