Don't think I am ever going to go through and tag them all, and anyway, i make up different genres based on mood, so when I come up with "80's relaxing classic rock" I don't want to retag everything... Thanks very much for the help though, since I tagged all the "non music" to something and exclu

Is there any way to be able to to exclude a dir and sub-dirs from random play? Not dirs, but genres: just tag your files appropriately, and you can easily exclude "kids" etc. from the mix. Alternatively, I would look at using browse folders for just these tracks, however browse folders only
