Hi Fred,
iTunes doesn't really care about folders, it uses the ID3 tags like artist, album, song title etc. to sort and organize music, but you probably know this. When I first switched from my Stream and Booksense to an iPod Touch I initially felt it was counter intuitive as I was used to "Manage" my own music by having folders for genres, e.g. Rock, Country, Jazz etc., then in those I'd have subfolders for the artists and in those subfolders for the albums. In the iTunes Media folder under Music you still have the artist folders and subfolders for each album, but in iTunes itself this organization is ignored. I found it most useful to use the "As List" view in the "View" menu and also to enable "Genre", Artist" and "Album" in the column browser sub menu which is also in the "View" menu of iTunes. This way I can select a genre and see all artists and albums in that genre, I can then select an artist and the list displays only those albums and songs and I can select a particular album and suddenly my main list view only contains the songs on that album. All of these are simple list views which I can jump to with F6 or the tab key and then navigate with the arrow key or first letter navigation. After I made sure all my albums had the proper ID3 tags I now find this extremely easy, fast and efficient. For even more customization you can always make playlists.

Has this problem been oliviated with the app you are speaking about?

I could be wrong though since I don't have the app. From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Stacey Robinson Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 3:08 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Muxic is an App Worth Checking Out Jonathan, Using this app, how do you sync music to your phone?

I'm so impressed with this that I've put it in the dock of my 4S, replacing Apple's built-in Music App. Here's the description from the App Store. Music lovers love Muxic. Why? Muxic gives you the most features of any music player on the app store. From crossfading to volume normalization to artist info and exploration features, Muxic is the music fan's best friend. If you're passionate about music, Muxic is the only way to listen. Features: * Intelligent Crossfading eliminates the gaps between your music, without fading out too early or fading in too late. It analyzes your music to give you that radio-style listening experience you crave. * Per-song customization to further refine the crossfading fade-in, fade-out, volume and normalization levels. * Volume normalization options that can make your quiet music louder. * Genre stations for quick mixes of similar music. * Similar artist stations makes playlists based on similar artists that exist in your library. * Learn about your music with the artist info screen that has tons of information about the artists in your library, including similar artists, biographies, and more! (Data provided by The Echo Nest). * Tweet what you're listening to! * Gesture-enabled playlist, library and now playing screens. * Advanced playlist capabilities for easy playlist creation and maintenance, including the ability to select whether you want to replace the queue, mix into the queue, or append to the queue whenever you want to add a group of songs. * Informative lock screen image to show you what's playing now, and what's coming up soon. * Full song scrubbing. * Airplay enabled (via the lock screen). * Full support for headphone controls. * Full accessibility features for visually-impaired users. * Instructions built into the app. * Ability to turn off crossfading. Fine print: As is the case with most other crossfading apps, DRM-protected music cannot be played through Muxic, as the crossfading and normalization cannot be applied. MP3s, as well as most recent purchases from iTunes in the past couple of years are likely not DRM-protected. Just adding my own comments to that description, it appears another thing that should be added to the fine print is that songs need to be on your phone, not in the cloud through iTunes Match. If you're familiar with Winamp and the SQR crossfading plug-in many of us have been using for over a decade, it's almost as good as that, very impressive. It is making intelligent decisions about when to play the next song based on the volume of the finishing one. The normalisation is also excellent, it sounds like it is using a little dynamic compression.
