This worked like a champ for my purposes of needing to browse through the music folder. PM me your address and I'll send you a bottle of wine or something! Thank you SO much. You literally saved me from selling all my SB stuff and going to Sonos. -- fortitude.five

First off, thanks a ton for sticking with me on this. My music is actually super organized by music/lossless, music/24bit, music/lossy so I'm good to go there. I've isolated it down to one major problem that is giving me a real run for my money and I'm hoping that it can be resolved. If I

Yes, I almost always browse to my music folder with SBS and do not use artist, album, etc. The reason for this is that I like to go in and either select lossless or 24bit albums to listen to, but I also like to have access to my mp3 albums that I have only in lossy format if I want to listen to

No, it's actually pretty easy to do what you want. However it sounds like your file organization is a mess, and you probably need to rearrange things to get them to work the way you want with SBS. For the most part SBS doesn't care about your file/folder structure, but if you insist on using

Thanks for the response, Aubuti. The reason that I want to point to iTunes is because of the better organization/tagging. I have lots of music that is ripped with DB Poweramp or downloaded from online web stores that will be ordered correctly in iTunes, but not when sitting in a Windows

Not sure I can help you here. If your tags are correct then they should appear fine whether they are in iTunes or viewed in SBS without iTunes integration. Note that SBS does not use the filenames for browsing by albums, artists, genres, years, etc. The only time SBS uses the file and folder

I think you did help. So if I browse to the area that I have designated in SB as music folder then the titles are used instead of tags? All of my lossless, mp3, and 24bit subdirectories are under my main music folder. How do I keep the ability to search in my bitrate folders while maintaining

even more clarity on my main problem. Tracks won't stay in order unless I put 01, 02, etc in the beginning of the title when they are in my windows folders. The DB poweramp tags have the right info, but the tracks are jumbled in some cases. Got a solution? I'm sure I'm being an idiot and just

Forget about Windows for now. How are you browsing your library with SBS? Under My Music, are you using Albums, Artists, Genres, Years, or Music Folder? Music Folder is the only one that cares what your filenames are -- everything else is based on the tags in your files. As for your different

It's not clear to me why you would want to point SBS to iTunes when you have music files that SBS supports and iTunes doesn't. As far as I understand it, the only thing gained with iTunes integration with SBS is access to your iTunes playlists. Which is more important to you, your iTunes

Guys - sorry for a question that's probably been answered endless times, but I could really use some help. A couple of questions that I've been trying to figure out for months, and I just don't know enough. I have my whole music library set up on a mounted storage drive. I also have my itunes
