This new release of xLoby brings us closer to managing multiple music libraries based on different folder locations and import templates. The new Tracks menu can separate iTunes style track list and folder based music libraries from the standard xLobby folder (Artist, Albums) structure. This new set of features allows you to separate or mix both types of libraries together. This allows users to now map directly to the iTunes download folder and read content by songlist or folder format structures.
By also having 3 different music libraries you can separate family members music allowing each user to have there own content.
Sort the following items in the list by Ascending or Descending values
1. Name, 2. Time, 3. Artist, 4. Album, 5. Genre
Other items in the works include Apple Ipod integration, have xLobby read single or multiple IPODs docked and connected directly to xLobby and use them as temporary content drives that xLobby can import from to separate music libraries or be mixed with other IPOD, xLobby music libraries.
