Thanks Lowlander. Sorry for getting back so long afterwards. Been busy with other things. You know, life. I went back and tried this again. Here is what I figured out that worked for me. First off, I couldn't do the cut and paste in the "My Computer" node of the tree. When I tried that, I would lose my play count. Also, there is no way to create a folder in the monitored location in the node, as denoted by the image of the context menu below.
It is possible to do this in the "My Computer" node, as in below.
So, what I ended up doing was to turn on the "Scan Continuously" option in the monitored folders dialog. I never use that option but I decided to do it in this case. I created the folder in the "My Computer" node and then I pasted in a song that I had copied and renamed "placeholder.mpg" because MM won't display a folder without any media in it. After I did that, I was then able to cut and paste folders within the "Location" node and not lose my play count data.
Thanks again Lowlander. I hope this helps others that might need to know as well.
PS. Your handle here always reminds me of
this song.
