It would be even better if multiple path's could be used. I use a few
different directories for storing music such as:
/albums/ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACK.MP3
/singles/ARTIST/TRACK.MP3
a single path wouldn't work for both of these but if multiple path's
could be specified, it would work just fine. Just my 1/50th of a $.
