Hi Rusty, and thanks.
I' m a DJ.
Having a huge MM library from mp3 cd's, i need a smaller part of
this library - just my collections of songs, lets say: my favorites,
uploaded to my hard drive and re-orghanized to folders.
(i use a usb external HD for this, or my laptop)
As you can see, (if you collect mp3+other audio files in cd-roms)
it is not practical to play songs directly from the cd's as they are
-most of the times- not very well organized, not in a similar way-
and it is a better idea to keep them only as back-up.
Even if i copy all the mp3 disks to a large Hard disk, i need to
re-organize the files on the HD to folders again, in a more user friendly way.
Another case is when i need to prepare collections for a special event.
Until now, i had to deal with 2 databases using another program : Trashsoft Mp3 explorer. This progran has a special ''update path'' function.
I always made changes (for song properties) in the ''reference''/''Master'' database. Then, after copying the songs, i had to copy and rename the ''reference'' database to ''on-air'' or ''Hard disk'' database.
(just to have always the latest version)
Using the new ''on-air'' database, i had to use this ''update path'' function,
telling the program where in the HD to search for the uploaded files,
and update the path for each file found.
If i had to make even a single change, i had to go to the ''reference''
database again, copy and update again.
As you see, life was not so easy..
Thats why i ask for interactive relation, between Virtual CD and the whole
database.
Thank you again.
Please ask me if there is something, which needs more explanation.
George.
