How to switch easily between collections?

Post by MacGuyver »

Hi there,

Any suggestions with MM5 on how to jump instantly between 2 collections (folders)?

I have one folder lets say it's ABC with all my music that's cleaned and organized and sorted beautifully with many subfolders that displays and plays exactly how I want it. I have another folder let's say it's called DEF and it has all my unorganized music and uncleaned albums in subfolders that needs to be rated, cleaned, etc. Eventually I clean each album subfolder from DEF and movie it into folder ABC where I can enjoy it ias part of my cleaned & organized collection.

The problem right now, is that if I scan both ABC and DEF in MM5, my screen becomes a mish-mash of cleaned and uncleaned material being displayed together. I would like to avoid deselecting ABC or DEF each time I switch between collections, depending on whether I'm listening or cleaning my music. It's quite timeconsuming to wait for the program to rescan when I change directories. What are my options? Ideally I would flip instantly between ABC and DEF folders but I'm not sure how to accomplish this.

Thanks for any guidance!

Create Collections (which can filter on Path) to keep organized files separate from the messy files: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... _Rules/5.0
