Hi there:
One of the many good things JRiver MC has, it's the possibility of keep a database of CD's and DVD's that we read with MC. When you insert a cd or dvd and read it with MC it keeps it in the database and you can easily find then with the Volume Name field. It doesn't matter that you've or don't have the cds or dvds into the cdreader, you always can find if you've that song, that album, that artist or wathever you're looking for. Well, this's great, but...
In the last years i didn't make backups of my music or films in DVD's, i do it in external harddrives. And i've several harddrives connected to MC, but i've some others harddrives not connected to MC. Won't be great if when you connect a external harddrive to MC and MC read it, it will keep the data in the same way it does with the cd's and dvd's? You plug the harddrive, MC read it, you state a Volume Name for it and, doesn't matter if the external harddrive it's connected or not, you can find easily what stuff you've .
Example: i've got a harddrive with old films that i've seen that it's in a closet with other harddrives. Some of the films are in good quality, some of them are in not so good quality. Navigating the internet i find this old film in very good quality, i know that i've it but i don't know the quality. Right now, if i want to know it, i've to unplug some hardrive connected to mc and connect the one with the film, therefore maybe i've to try several harddrives 'cause i don't know for sure in wich harddrive that film is. If the behavior of MC were the same with cd's, dvds and external hardrives it would be really easy to find what and in wich harddrives you've what you're looking for, without being connecting and disconnecting harddrives.
I'm not sure if i've explain well what i want cause of my limited english, but basically it's to have the same behaviour for external harddrives that MC already have for CD's and DVD's. Is it possible?
Maybe there's a way to do it that i have not find. In this case if someone can point me in the right direction will be great.
