Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Flaky directory tree

Content Type: text/plain

I have mentioned this before, a long time ago, but never got a resolution...

I have a directory tree on a JFS volume that contains 3820 .MP3 files in
a bunch of directories organized by genre and artist. Most of these
were ripped from CDs in my collection using LEECHMP3 from Hobbes. A few
have been recorded from cassette tapes using various means.

Included in the LEECHMP3 package is a program called MAKEMPL.EXE which
traverses this directory tree creating xxxx.m3u files in each directory.
I then use Dink's Z! program to listen to the music.

There is ONE fly in the ointment, however... MAKEMPL *SKIPS* some
directories. This means that I cannot select the album represented by
that directory in Z! Instead, I have to select the tracks individually.

I suspect that there is some difference in either the extended
attributes of the directories or in the class attributes of the
directories (which may be the same thing, I don't understand them).

What I need is some method to analyze the directories that are and are
not picked up by MAKEMPL.EXE so that I can make whatever changes are
necessary to make this whole thing work!

Any suggestions? Can UNIMAINT do this? If so, how? Are there other
programs that might help?

Sorry for the long-winded explanation, but I thought it was necessary to
describe the problem.

Thanks!
