Noob Question

sledjunk:
Sorry if this has been asked before.  I did a search on the forum and couldn't find anything.

My music folders are arranged Artist\Album Name\{disc number if multiple discs}\song.

I would like to load my entire contents and play them back in a random album order.  In other words, once an album is selected, the entire album is played (or even just the disc), and then the play would shuffle to the next album and play it in its entirety.

I would like to start this and then let it play continuously.  My player is typically inside my coat while snowmobiling so I can't get to it after each album to restart.

Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance.

What about the manual? :)

Auto-Change Directory should do the trick. I don't use it myself though...

sledjunk:
Yeah, Tried the manual before the forum.

The Autochange Directory doesn't do the trick either. 

I tried adding multiple albums, one at a time, from the database, but they shuffle the songs.  (shuffle is turned off)

Any other suggestions?  Thanks

It does, but you also need to run the random folder advance plugin to configure it. The manual has the details for that.

Thanks.  I'll try that and report back.   ;D
Post Merge: August 15, 2012, 10:32:12 PMOK, I have found the plugin and tried it.

I generated the folder list and tried to "Play Shuffled".  This returned numerous "Error accessing directory" errors until I stopped the process by pressing the power button.

Then I generated the folder list again.  Each time I generate the list, it reports a different number of folders.  I saved the list to a file and edited it to remove the artist folders.  Imported the edited file and still had the same errors.

My folder names have spaces in them (e.g. AC DC, The Beatles, etc).  Could this be causing my problems?  Can I enclose the folder names in quotes?

Thanks
