Mine looks a lot like that; I mostly use music/genre/set_or_album, with occasional subfolders like CD1 and CD2, and a few scattered "misc" directories for loose individual songs. I think the recursive approach would work nicely there; it would allow selecting all music, all music in a genre, all music in a particular album, etc. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
