Hi all,

J just discovered a really annoying problem with the MPlayer 10 library.

A lot of my mp3 album folders have been renamed like Aerosmith - Pump @256'
so i know what bitrate the numbers of the album are without having to open
the folder first.

Now i just bought an iRiver mp3 player which syncronizes only with MPlayer
10 so i started using MPlayer as my default player. And now it seems that
when i use the 'Album view' only albums without the '@' in the folder name
are beeing displayed. But on the other hand, when i use the 'Artist view' i
notice that numbers from the '...@..' albums are included in the library;
they're just not showing up in the albums view.

Does anyone know a way around this, cause it has cost me a lot of time
renaming these albums and i don't really feel like renaming em bak again.

Thx in advance,

Björn

There's no good automatic way to undo that. You don't want WMP to try to
computer-logically figure out what you REALLY wanted to do, do you? =)

You can use WMP's "Rename and Rearrange" feature in the
Tools:Options:Library, but you'd probably be better off using a program
dedicated to 'renaming and rearranging'...

Or use different software to synch with the iRiver e.g. Red Chair
Software's Irivium or check the boards at misticriver.net
