Just jumping in here as I've been following the thread with interest !
I exported my music library yesterday as an experiment - I've only added to it over the past few years, rather than sort it out properly again, but a bit more on that later
I set it up to export separate artist and album nfo's and album art to a brand new share on a different server than the one that holds the actual music files. It created artist/album directories correctly, exported all the album info first and then artist info. Once it had finished the album artists, it exported info for song artists. All looks correct to me.
Anyway @DaveBlake , is there a 'best practice' method for moving from an artist/album structure to something better ? I'd like to take advantage of all the work you have put in and split my music up differently in the future but the original library db was built probably with V15 and has only been upgraded through Kodi upgrades. Everything is tagged with Picard and already has existing art and nfo files alongside the album tracks. Feel free to spin this off into a new thread if you feel it warrants it, or just point me to a link where you may have gone through all this before
@hurricane51 , sorry for butting in bud, hope you get everything to your liking.
