Is there any way to set up properties of a specific folder type


Recommended Posts

For example, I want to set up columns / width for a music folder and have that be applicable to every music folder.

use the libraries

I was going to start a thread about something related to this as well. Small world.

I like my music folder to have year show by default, but I can't seem to find a way to make it stick. When I rip a cd, it shows defaults of Name, Title, Contributing Artist. Is there a way to add Year so I don't have to change it every time?

Setting a folder up in libraries seemed to do it. I added a few columns and they seem to appear in other folders as well

Hmmmmm. All my music is on an external drive. Thought there might be another way. Oh well. No biggie. I can live with it the way it is.

Why not add that drive to your Music Library?

Any view setting changes you make in a Library will apply to all locations in that Library.

Otherwise, what you can do is set up a non-Library music folder the way you like, then click "Organize" then "Folder and Search Options" then click on the "View" tab. In the View tab, click on "Apply to Folders." This will make all Music folders have the same view setup.
