It seems that coverjuke is set up so that album folders should be put inside folders with the artists name. This will make the Artist name appear on top of the album name in the cover view and will allow the user to fast track for titles using the alphabet keys.

Unfortunately I do not know anyone who uses this folder structure for music by default and I think it would be inconceivable for many to change their structure just because they want to use this program.

I.e. my structure is...

Music
> Classical Music
> Composer - Album name (Conductor & Orchestra)
> Contemporary Music
> Artist - Album Name
> Game Music
> Album name (Composer)
> Soundtracks
> Album name (Composer)

My suggestion is to add customization options for how the artist and album titles be read from the folders.

    oups... autoformating removed the spaces in the folder tree. It should look like this

    Music
    > Classical Music
    >> Composer - Album name (Conductor & Orchestra)
    > Contemporary Music
    >> Artist - Album Name
    > Game Music
    >> Album name (Composer)
    > Soundtracks
    >> Album name (Composer)

    Ok I note it in my TODO list.

    It's very difficult for me to implement this fonctionnality... but I will try in a future version.

    Just a remark.

    For a great use in actual coverJuke version, you can organize your biblio like this:
    in list folder :
    - Music/Classical Music
    - Music/Contemporary Music
    - Music/Game Music
    - Music/Soundtracks
    Now you can switch between folder with the folder window (F12 or toolbar).
    And in your folder:
    /Composer/Album name

    I think you will have got a perfect navigation :-).
