HI Krutsch,
Please help me here, i thought i had Soundirok settled, but i was wrong... I have all my music organized in a logical folder structure, main usb drives Classical, Pop, Jazz and MP3 (on a Nas). Soundirok mixes everything up, and sorts by artist or album... Resulting for example in Schubert - 19 lieder showing up next to Adele - 19, imagine the horror of that
Is there a way of showing my music in the folder-logic?
Ive tried to click New Intelligent set to no avail. Nothing happens so thats no solution for now.
Hope you can shed some light.
Cheers,
Marius
Hi Marius,
You have a couple of choices, depending on how your audio files are tagged.
If you have added "genre" tags, then simply browse by "Genres" from the top-level (i.e. Library view, tapping on the notes icon). Then, you will only see your Classical or Jazz albums and then you can swipe to the artist or album you are looking to play.
If you do NOT have genre tags, then the "Intelligent Set" feature can help you. Create a new intelligent set with a "Path" rule, where the path contains, for example, the word "Classical", which will show only audio files in which some part of the path contains the word "Classical".
My files are obsessively tagged, but I also split my collection across a pair of USB thumb drives (Corsair GTX). I am constantly downloading/ripping new music (I am afraid to tally-up what I spend on new music
) and to keep track of what's new, I have a folder called: New Music.
Under New Music, I have Artist/Album sub-folders for the new stuff; over time, I move these albums into the main library folders.
With Soundirok, I've created an Intelligent Set called: "New Music" with a single rule; matching any audio files that have a Path component containing "New Music".
Let us know if you need more ideas on how to proceed with your collection.
