I have downloaded MC trial yesterday and am having newbie, operator error problems.
Background:
I am ripping my CD's in WAV on a NAS (Zyxel NSA320) using Hierarchical File Structure to make searching faster. I will be listening to the music on various audio systems by either pulling or pushing the files from the NAS via ethernet into either an Onkyo NR609 AVR, Oppo BDP103, or MARANTZ NA7004.
My files are organized like the following:
\\NSA320\music\Jazz\Jazz Horn\artist\album\track1,2,3,...
I break the structure into Major Genre (Classical, Jazz, Pop/Rock, Country/Bluegrass, ...) and further subdivided by Sub Genre (piano, horn, sax, female, male, ...). I also do NOT want multiple types of folders of the same artist, and I want the ENTIRE album in the same sub-folder (no file splits with various other artists combinations). This requires me to move around tracks and folders using Windows File Explorer after the discs have been ripped to get my preferred cleaner organization.
Questions:
MC can organize a rip into Genre\artist\... I will sometimes also change the Genre name from MC's defaults, as well as add my Sub Genre file level, consolidate all of the album tracks into the same folder, and possibly move all of the tracks of a multiple disc album into the same folder. Does this Windows File Explorer file moving around cause MC any problems?
I have previously ripped hundreds of CDs using iTunes in this same manner, but MC does not seem to show them. How can I get MC to see all of my files?
How can I get MC to get the Album Covers on all of my albums?
