Music naming
The recommended folder structure for music is Artist\Album\Song
\Music
\Artist Name
\Album Name
1- Song.mp3
2- Song.mp3
This is not a requirement and other structures will also work, but this is the most common method.
Any naming convention for audio files is acceptable. Track numbers are retrieved using embedded ID3 tag information.
Albums can have disc sub-folders using any of the following folder names, where X represents the disc number:
- Disc X
- Disk X
- CD X
- Disc-X
- Disk-X
- CD-X
- DiscX
- DiskX
- CDX
- VolX
- Vol-X
- VolumeX
- Volume-X
For example:
\Music
\Artist Name
\Album Name
\Disc 1
1- Song.mp3
2- Song.mp3
\Disc 2
1- Song.mp3
2- Song.mp3
Images are supported in both artist and album folders, as well as images embedded within audio files. Below is a table of the supported image file names:
