Well I've been using my DDAR for a week now and have got really miffed at
not been able to select albums by artist then by album title (which is how
I have them stored on disk). This is a major failing of the DDAR as I can't
remember all the album names and the listing by album name does not help me
remember also when you find the album it don't play the tracks in order.

So I thought why not create a play list for each with it's name in the
format of "Artist - Album Title.m3u" and with the tracks in the
correct
order but with 650ish folders this is going to take a long time! Well I
could write a Perl script to do this but have not got time, so search the
web for a program is the best option. After a hours searching I find
Playboyster ( http://welcome.to/toytools ) which
fits the bill perfectly
and I now have 650 play lists with the names in the format above and tracks
in the original order. These play lists now make the DDAR a dream to use.

Well my thoughts after a weeks use, if your thinking of buying 1, don't
bother, get 3 like me :-)
