Media Library Folder View
 

Hello,

I did a lot of searching on this topic, but all I could find is that the feature was already reaquested in 2002 and not satisfyingly answered there.

So how can I change the Media Library View to a proper folder view as in windows explorer, where I see all my music files neatly sorted in the folders where I thoughtfully put them on my hard disk?

I mean come on, who on earth has all of his mp3s tagged correctly? It's a great mess the way it is right now...

Can I possibly achieve this by the SmartView thing? I played around with that for a while without getting anywhere...


Sorry if this is a FAQ or s.th., just couldn't find anything

Cheers and thanks in advance

P.S. what I almost forgot to say: I found this Directory plugin, but since it has no rating system, it's rather useless to me... I'd like to do the thing in Media library, not somewhere else.

Ya can't with the Media Library. You can try anothing plugin like Dyamic Library.

Ouw that sucks! It was already requested 3 years ago... How can such a simple and useful thing still not be implemented?



Yeh that's what I meant above - it's useless because it's missing the rating system (at least that's what it reads in the review)

Thanks anyways...

Other helpful ideas?

Cheers

However, that plugin is still under development and is not fully functional yet.

I don't think what you want is possible at this moment.

Awesome!

Thanks a lot! That's what I was looking for!

P.S. just out of interest: where does Media library store the rating information? In the mp3 file itself or in some Media library database?

Ratings are part of the ML database.
