Using Emplode v2.00-beta11, I noticed the nice little download feature to retrieve MP3's from the unit. I was wondering if the following enhancements could be considered for the v2 final release:

1. When downloading a "tree", like a play list, it would be nice if it created a folder structure like the tree you clicked on to download it. IE:

Rock
+ Band Name
++ CD 1
++ CD 2

...Right clicking on Rock and doing a download would then save a dir like "Rock\Band Name\CD 1\thesongnamehere.mp3"... Maybe there could just be a checkbox on the download location dialog to save the folder hierarchy?

2. A way to define the song names, like, what fields Emplode uses to create the file name from? Maybe a picklist of Album Name, Track #, Song Name, Artists, ect. and what order you want them in... Some may like to be able to have "01 - artist - track name.mp3", while I happen to like "artist -01- track name.mp3"... A simple string replacement thing would work well, like "@ARTIST@ -@TRACK@- @SONGNAME@" type thing, that way we could even define what separator characters to use in naming the files...

Sorry for the feature creep, just my two cents...

If you can use Ethernet, the Jemplode software has both of these features. Check it out, it's quite good.
