Maybe I should have said like Foobar..., posted on April 14, 2021 at 14:04:16

We can both see our music file directory tree structure on our NAS but viewing it in the player is pretty old school.... like extremely old school like how you might navigate your old MP3 player memory card or a thumb drive.

It can be done in Roon but that's not how music is presented in modern players with good library management. I don't NEED to see my tree structure every time I want to play music. The library manager presents everything I need - and more - w/o having to traverse the directory tree.

I can always drill down on an album or track in Roon to see where exactly the music file or folder resides but I would do that only for trouble shooting purposes. The only other time I might WANT to view my tree structure would be to know where to place a ripped album.

"likes navigating his music in the most rudimentary way" Correct!, posted on April 14, 2021 at 20:46:21

I like to see the file structure as laid out on disk, not some metadata driven sort. I'll arrange the files myself, thanks, adn see that structure in the player. Foobar does this well, and now I;ve found a Linux version that does as well.
