I have ~5 gig of ~100 ripped albums. Each album is under group name then almum name. This is how I want it on the empeg (to start with) Is there any way for me to automatically import the directories as lists and the files in them?

Simple! Just drag and drop the directories from explorer to the playlists window on emplode.

You can preview the results and if you like the way they show up then sync, if not just revert.

Doh, U should have thought of that. Drag and Drop how simple!

I think the problem was I was in the open files dialog and selected every direcorty and hit ok and nothing happened was when I figured that I'd need another tool... (hint for future feature request)

I think I'll actually remove that dialog. It sucks. Use drag-and-drop.

Then the manual would be wrong. And there wouldn't be any easy keyboard shortcuts for those who like using the keyboard.

Yeah, it's only a few lines and a recursive function in MFC IIRC.

They can use the clipboard - Alt+Tab, Ctrl+C, Alt+Tab, Ctrl+V.

Oh, what's that you say? Keyboard shortcuts don't work properly in recent versions of Windows Explorer? Oops.
