HP MediaSmart Server User's Guide
Things to Consider
Organize by Artist/Album Organize by PC Folder Structure
Uses music file tags to organize files Sorts files by user or source computer
Reduces duplication of files on the server Good for maintaining original music sorting
On the left, the files are organized by Artist/Album
There are two things of interest
1. The two groups of music files are now organized uniformly, and
2. The one song that was duplicated between the two groups is only present once.
The uniform organization is what the Organize by Artist/Album option accomplishes – it uses
the Album and Artist tags within the file to place the files. If a music file doesn’t have both of
these tags set, it will be placed based on its location on the user’s computer. This organizational
approach is useful for organizing multiple music collections into a single collection and reducing
file duplication. This means that browsing the server music share for music streaming will be
more streamlined without duplicate file entries. The example illustrates duplicate file handling by
pointing out the single file entry on the left pane that was duplicated on the right. If the two
duplicate files are different, the newest one is retained on the server.
In contrast, the right pane is organized by PC folder structure
If music is found under a user’s home Music folder, it will be grouped under the user’s name with
the underlying folder organization. This still may include some simplification in that music for
user Susan on computer1 and user Susan on computer2 will be coalesced into a single group. This
may result in some duplicate songs being represented once.
