    Exclamation Music from USB HDD - Auto play from multiple folders

    I just picked up a BBox yesterday. I connected my HDD containing all of my music files (iTunes media library setup. Multiple folders. Eg., "Music > A > Areosmith > [musicfile.mp3]") via USB.

    I scanned it as a file source, and I can access the music by digging into the folders via the Files > My Sources area.


    My question: How do I get these music files to auto play the next file in the next folder?

    I assumed I could do this by going into Files > Music, but the artists and albums listed there do not seem to be my entire collection.

    ..have I named the my files incorrectly, and that's why they're not appearing properly??

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    You'll need to create a m3u playlist (via a computer), put the playlist where the Box can reach it and play that. (Search the forums on how best to create playlists to work with the Boxee Box).

    do this by going into Files > Music, but the artists and albums listed there do not seem to be my entire collection.
    It's not so great at identifying everything; just to make sure, however, you should use a program like mp3tag to make sure the song files are tagged correctly because I believe Boxee will try to use tags for identifying song files.
