Music Storage
#1
Ok so I have all my TV Shows and movies Sorted.

I have one major issue and thats music, I thought that it would work like tvshows.

Artist
->Album 1
->Album 2
->etc

How is the best way to store and import music to xbmc?

That should be fine. Turn debug logging on, scan your source, check your log. If need be, post your log to pastebin.com.

Have your music files got "TAGS"? Are you using .mp3's or .wav's etc? The folder structure wont matter for building the library because xbmc creates the library from the ID3 tags stored in the audio files. the folder structure only really becomes use full for when you browse in file mode.

I personally use

Genre
-->Artist
---->Album
------>song.mp3

The only things that relied on folder structure were things like the cdart.png but now that works by looking in the folder of the currently playing song so the structure no longer matters really.

RBX

PS. I think I heard somewhere that xbmc does not read "TAGS" from .wav files either, so if your using .wav files, it wont work.
