I'm trying to create three different smartlists or media sections for different genres (Jazz, Pop, Classic). My media files are organized like this

\music\jazz\artist\album\*.mp3
\music\pop\artist\album\*.mp3

I have tried the following:

Creating a new View Scheme in the Media Library section, with the criteria set to location (and then the appropriate directory name). This works but I get a folder "Unassigned" where all my media is... (also the one, not in a specific directory)

Creating a smartlist with the same criteria doesn't seem to work either, because the directory structure is not recursed into.

I assume that there is an easy way I haven't figured out yet...

Any ideas?
thanks

Try using:
genre/artist/album

No need for newbie alerts here.  Flamers don't exist in MJland.

Figured it out...

using a smartlist with

location=[c:\media\music\jazz

did the trick

JimH: Thanks, I knew about that one - doesn't quite fit the bill though. I'm trying to control MJ through Girder. I want MJ to play my selection of either genre (using the commandline interface, selecting a path in the media tree) by pressing a specific button on the remote.

The distinction between three genres (as outlined above) is enough granularity for me.
