need help with set up

[andy]

I may be over my head thinking I could figure out how to make a cool laptop jukebox.
I have 2 hard drives full of music and karaoke but am struggling getting it loaded/working properly.

Music: I know how to load music on Touchjams but it doesn’t file correctly. I’d imagine because I don’t have it saved in the proper way which I don’t know what the proper way is and it may not be named in the proper way.
Once loaded the music shows on the “Album” tab as one file “Various Artists Unknown”. I can touch that file and all songs show in alph order and play when I touch them. None have artwork.
When I touch the “Artist” tab it pulls up all artists in alph order. I click on an artist and it pulls up all songs from all artists in alpha order, so I have to scroll and find the artist songs. Again, nothing has artwork.

Karaoke: I figured out how to match the files for each song and zip them together in their own files which do play and display the words but have all the same problems as I do with the music.

So far what I’ve done is moved some files from external hard drive to internal laptop hard drive and encounter the above listed problems.

Any help is greatly appreciated as I’m hoping to get this working for my daughters graduation party in July.

Some add on points:

1) concept to remember is that all files under each leaf folder will be treated as an album
2) each song in each leaf folder should have the same Album tag to prevent it from showing as "various artists"
