Here's a problem that I can't believe is unique to me. Has anyone solved this?
I have two computers, a laptop and a desktop. I use the desktop as my main media repository... my whole collection is there. I use my laptop to DJ with, and it only contains the tracks I rate as good enough to play. My desktop has all tracks in my collection in a folder hierarchy something like "<Genre>/<Artist>/<Album>/track name.mp3". When I run my smartlist query to return all the tracks that I rated as worthy, and which eliminates dupes and picks the highest rated of the dupes, I simply select all from the list, and drag them onto my shared folder on the laptop. 40 minutes later, I have 2000 tracks ready to play, but in one folder, no hierarchy.
So far, so good.
The problem arises when I try to drag a playlist that I made on the desktop over to the laptop, or when I try to drag the playlist that I actually used in the club back from the laptop onto the desktop to edit or archive it... all the tracks are disassociated!
Isn't there a way for Media Center to re-associate the tracks based on matching a set of tags that I specify??? I would use track name, artist name, album name, and I would hope that this would be a default for the system.
This seems really basic functionality, and I'm surprised it's not already in this otherwise absolutely fantastic product.
Thanks,
Jeff
