I am currently using the CD title to create a
directory in the specified audio directory
(CONFIG_AUDIO_DIR). Any suggestions on how to
structure the audio directories? I can also make a
subdirectory using the 'Category' of music and or use
the Artists/Groups name if CDDB returns that info.
This is where a database is needed. I saw some discussion on the dev list (where this discussion should probably go :-) ) regarding mysql and saw general distaste towards using a database. You simply cannot build a useful application for searching, browsing and categorizing music and for building playlists buy just working with a directory structure. I'd really like to see some kind of listening preference data stored on each track that can be used to find the next track to listen to. I don't see this kind of thing being simple, fast, or light-weight without the use of a "real" database.
I'm not at all opposed to working on this with someone. Frankly, I think Freevo could do well with a database, rather than working with, for example, one big honkin' XML file for TV listings. That's something that I think MythTV does quite well...
Now, that being said, I still think you need to have a reasonable directory structure. I personally prefer /<format>/<artist|"various">/<album>/<artist>_-_<album>_-_<track #>_-_<track name>.<format>
Thanks for listening, B
