Use divider files to organize albums in XMMS
Authored by: g3cko on Mar 26, '04 05:43:11AM

I have a newer powerbook (866, 12") and iTunes runs fine on it, however, I can't *STAND* iTunes. I mount all my music (around 110GB) via NFS, and iTunes wants to copy it ALL onto my hard drive.

However, you can also set xmms to display the name of the song in the format: artist - album - song and then you can sort them based on path/filename and it does pretty well.

You can tell iTunes to not copy files when you add them to your library in the 'advanced' tab of its preferences.

Yeah, Artist - Album - Title also works, but I leave my files untagged, and naming them that way can cause the playlist to become unnaturally wide :).
