I want to use my own folders and organization for my music

by scottkelly Apr 27, 2006 4:36AM PDT

I'm a musician and will use an MP3 player as a tool..Most of the MP3s I want to access don't have any of the artist-genre-album title info... I study old time fiddle music and make my own MP3s from field recordings... I don't have the time or inclination to edit hundreds music tracks to create this kind of info per tune.... Instead, I have it all wonderfully organized by artist and key on my computer in a neat and efficient folder system. I would like to mirror that system on an MP3 player...

I have the impression that many, if not all players try to make your life "easier" by organizing your music for you... Exactly what I don't want... what players out there allow me to set up my library the way I want?

thanks,
Steve
