ijgarcia: "Regarding the stored music collections, Music Match, has been one of the top ripping programs out there for a while, so a significant percentage of potential odyssey customers will have already formatted their collections in the required format"

Are you sure about that? Why would people choose such an unusal file structure unless they already knew their device would require it?

edigroxx reposted your post on RB and here was one answer, which meets with my understanding as well.

err...actaully that is incorrect....

the two folder structure and naming convention is not a requirement of the MusicMatch software, but of the O1000.

In fact, previous MusicMatch users would be no more or less likely to have thier files structured in the proper O1000 format than anyone else. It would be pure luck if they did.

As a matter of fact, sense most tend to gravitate to the genre-artist-album-songs structure, it would be almost WEIRD if they already had it in any type of two deep structure.
