how to change directories and re-scan?

uw@acm.org · 14th July 2011, 15:22

re-installing the new version solved the problem, however...

Hello,

my mp3 files are organized in the following way:

C:\mp3library
C:\mp3library\"artist"
C:\mp3library\"artist"\"album"

where "album" is the title of a CD of the respektive artist.
winamp is able to read that structure; alas, its ripping is
organizing in a flat structure like

C:\mp3library\"artist" - "album"

How can I change the directory structure and names, and re-scan the library, please?

Thnaks in advance!
Regards,
Uli

Hi

Go to: Winamp > Prefs (Ctrl+P) > Media Library > CD Ripping > Output File Settings tab
and change the Naming Convention to: <Artist>\<Album>\## - <Title>

fixing senseless default settings as discussed here:
