Hello all,
I have over 80k audio files. All of them are Old Time Radio shows. Some of the files do not have proper ID3 tags and have their info in the file name and the file names do not follow the same naming convention. Some of the files do have ID3 tags but this isn't consistent. This is fairly common among OTR files.
I have these mounted on a NAS samba share and the file have been scanned but I can't find anywhere in the MoOde web UI that displays statistics on the library such as number of files, number of albums, artists, etc. I'm not sure if all the files were scanned. The reason I am concerned and want to see the number of files scanned is that I first tried Volumio which only saw about 50K audio files rather than the 80K+ it should have. I tried RuneAudio and it sees them all but does not have a EQ capability (which is required when listening to old recordings to eliminate noise and focus on the voice).
In addition to this, I have another annoyance. In the file list, I can't find a way to quickly add an entire directory to a playlist directly. I have to clear the current playlist, add the directory to the current playlist, then create a new playlist from the current one. This is a lot of clicking for something that could be done with a directory or file context menu item - "Add to Playlist" - where a dialog would come up with existing playlists or the option to create a new one. This is how it is done in Volumio. Am I missing something? Is there a way to add a directory to a playlist directly?
