Can we have more than one music library(set of album)?

[vshk]

Hi all,

This question may be for MPD as it seems runeaudio is just using it's library function, but I couldn't search anything related in various forums.

The background is that I have a large number of music files, and I would like to separate them into several sets of albums or media libraries. For example, it would be great if I can have a library or name of album set just showing all music under the DSD folder and another one showing all music under the folder of FLAC in the harddrive.

In fact, I don't see such kind of media library management function in most of the media related software, so I don't know if it is just a wrong thinking in my mind. The only one application I found is Plex media server, which can allow user to create additional music library freely. It almost made me change to the DLNA approach, but unfortunately there is a problem in Plex to recognize meta tag ID3v2.4 so it is still useless for me.

Any experience or thought on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!
Victor

We (community we) could probably come up with something where you "switch" libraries by updating a .mpdignore file to list everything except what you want to listen to. A script would be triggered so that say you wanted to listen to FLAC, it would make a .mpdignore file that say *.mp3 *.aac *.dsd etc. Then I think issuing an "mpc update" would make it take effect.

But again, this is only switching libraries, it's not organizing them.
