Re: Using a custom storage system with the SliMP3?

Dean -

	I'd like to see the PHP code. I've used the SliMP3 HTTP server - it's
not so much that as the naming of the directories. It gets annoying
seeing 'f.0' and not 'A Folder' or whatever.

	I was thinking that it would be nice to offload *all* the directory
naming/sorting/filename/etc. stuff to seperate code - by default it
would just be alphabetical, using file names, but it could be replaced
by people with a different scheme (like me) with something else. Does
that sound reasonable?

	If you want, I'll send you my code to look at.
