need some help with J River and a new pc

Glad it is working. J River is a great player, but it does take some getting used to. It is very flexible, but that also makes it somewhat complicated to use. Once set up, you will be rewarded with great sound. Enjoy.

When you import into JRiver, you can use the file structure to define artist, album track #, track name. A typical file structure is defined by the order of the folders and what is in each folder. A typical structure is

Artist
Album 1
1 First Track name
2 Second Track name
etc.
Album 2
1 First Track name
2 Second Track name

where artist and album are folder names. Album is a subfolder to artist. Then in each album folder, the tracks are named as Track Number Track Name. In J River, look at Tools, Options and File Locations. Under Audio, it defines the file structure with Folder Rule and Filename Rule. From above structure Folder Rule would be [Artist] [Album] and Filename Rule would be [Track #] [Name] These options define how J River reads your folder names and file names. You can change the Folder Rule and Filename Rule to correspond to your structure. Try deleting a couple of albums and them re-import them after changing the Folder and Filename rules.

Minor change - Folder Rule should be [Artist]\[Album] The \ indicates a sub directory. Sorry for leaving that out.
