This can't be overstated. Many people have libraries that are quite random. They may have worked in itunes, because things were ripped there and placed in various places that ITUNES knew about, but no one else! I just spent a weekend at a friends house "fixing" his music setup. He had "backed up" his old harddrive to a new hardrive and somehow a large part of his music ended up as hidden files buried deep, deep, deep in an odd directory structure under a "backup" directory. I eventually found it and fixed things. He also had downloaded or ripped songs with itunes that ended up in all sorts of weird locations. Once things were moved, nothing could be found. Of course I consolidated everything and pointed to the right directories, so for now he's good. But without 1. good tags and 2. good organization, you're likely to have problems. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79118 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
