I don't think thats the problem, as it stops scanung after the first set of folders.It does go through sub-folders. It just takes some time to scan everything.
Thanks. Think I'll just do that.I feel you
This issue appeared, it seems, in Version 3.0.4.
As I haven't found another "solution", I went back to Version 3.0.3 where it's still working.
Well I don't know, for me it doesn't . My (simplified) case:It does go through sub-folders. It just takes some time to scan everything.
Exactly!Well I don't know, for me it doesn't . My (simplified) case:It does go through sub-folders. It just takes some time to scan everything.
Main-Folder
- Sub-folder_1: 100 Items
- Sub-folder_2: 1000 Items
Now I start 3.0.4 (with shuffle enabled) trough the context menu of the file explorer (on main-folder).
If on start, an item from sub-folder_1 is chosen, 3.0.4 only scans the individual items from that folder, then it stops scanning and sub-folder_2 rests as a single item with a blue folder-symbol in the playlist-view.
This leads to the problem that it shuffles through 20-30 items of sub-folder_1 in a row, until per chance sub-folder_2 is chosen. Only then are those 1000 items scanned also and the shuffling of all 1100 items works "normally".
In 3.0.3 this doesn't happen for me and all 1100 items are scanned and listet from the start.
@weirddaveThis solved it for me in 3.0.8

Man you made my evening! Thanks so much!Preferences - show all settings -> playlist -> Subdirectory behaviour - Expand
I'm sorry man. I don't understand the problemI don't get it. My source directory is CDs, under that is artist, The Cars, then under that is albums, then under that is songs. That is how a LIBRARY should look. When I open a folder CDs, all I get is a list of songs with alblum art pictures not a tree like in media monkey. A play list is a list of the same structure as library but only the songs I drag to the "Named Playlist" No playlist should be the whole library. The library is all artist, albums, songhs, library is not a play list. Now how to see that when I click on library, And only see the play list I created when I click Playlist? I didn't like Media Monkey because it kept adding playlist like recents, or added, or whole library. The tree was ok but playlist automatic creation was a pain and the playlist would not sync with phone. I wanted to sync just one playlist not all playlist and 300 songs to my phone.
