It even tags stuff for you. Storing them is another matter. I have several drives on another machine which is mounted to my desktop that runs Amarok. I mount them as /mnt/mp3 and /mnt/tunes /mnt/mp3/artist-album then each song inside that directory. 01-song1.mp3 02-next_song.mp3 in each directory. Amarok doesn't care how you store them, it reads the id3 tags and sorts them in the program that way. I like to keep things neat on my computer so I create directories for each artist - album. > > Problem? Yup.
