Full Folder (Directory) Structure.

[coops]

Hi,

I get the "Correct Way" for Audio files: C:/My Music/Folder1/Folder2/Folder X,  but what about Music Videos and Karaoke Music Videos?

Tell me if I am wrong here please as I have only just started with this and please give me guidance.

I have created a partition on the HDD called "Media", in that partition I have three folders/Directories:

Karaoke

Music

Music Video

Initial updates of the libraries results:

Music (Audio Files) - Seems ok.

Karaoke and Video have "Unknown" Directories on the Jukebox, once you go into them get a list of tracks/files.

I have attached screenshots of the structure and what the jukebox shows.

Please assist with advising me of correct structure.

Thank you.

I would guess your media is not "Tagged" correctly especially Karaoke and Video, also make folders per "Album" and make sure to you have a "Album Name" tag.

Use MP3Tag, which is free, donations appreciated and is very good,  to fill in the relevant information for each track as per snapshot attached. In my folders I have them arranged   c:\music\album or artist names   D:\music videos\album or artist names   D:\karaoke\album or artist names     instead of a deep folder arrangement.

Also, keep in mind for video files where the format doesn't support tag info (for example AVIs), you'll need to hand make an external tag info text file that looks like the following:

artist=3 Doors Down
album=Another 700 Miles
title=It:::::s Not Me (Live)
albumartist=3 Doors Down
comments=
genreidx=79
genre=Hard Rock
tracknumber=6
year=2003
playlength=228832
filesize=3702836
advisory=-1

This tag info text file should have the TXT file extension and have the same name (less extension) as the video file.  So, if you have say "acdc video.mp4", the tag info file should be named "acdc video.txt".  Also, in the above example, the ":::::" is actually a single quotation mark, as in "'", like in "It's".

instal K-Lite Mega version leave default setup settings as is.

Keep in mind with the K-Lite installers, sometimes they like to add option to installer additional "freebie" software. I recommend unchecking any options for installing additional software.
