1 - the top rated shows the ADMIN rating, not the users average rating, if you dont choose taht option. go to the module and check its parameters to change this behavior.

2 - for the playuing problem, the best way will be taht you post a link, so I can check myself and tell you whats going wrong

for the ratings I'll have a look at the params.

As for my player/scanner problem, I can't send you a link because the site is not live, it only exists locally. I could give you a subversion account login and you could check out the site from the repo and run it on your local machine.

I think that its running locally is the problem. In Album Mananger > Params > Songs Folder... if I leave it set at the default "/songs" then I can add songs track by track and the player works. But if I try and use the scanner nothing is found. My folder path looks for the scanner looks like this "G:\\wamp\\www\\esd2/songs\"

Now if I change the params so the folder path looks like this, "G:\\wamp\\www\\esd2\\songs\" the player is broken for the tracks I just added, however I scan the folder, folders inside songs are found but the track data is not populated. If I put "\\\\\" in the scanner input text field, then then folder is found, the tracks are populated and the player is still broken.

I just need a work around that will fix this locally and not be too much of a pain when I move the site to a production server.

If I understand this correctly, I should be able to organize the music in multiple levels of folders right?

Thanks for you help!

UPDATE:
Found a crude workaround. Album Manager > Params > Songs Folder = "/songs/" which makes scan folder look like this "G:\\wamp\\www\\esd2/songs/\"

To scan a folder to songs/folder1/folder2 have to put "folder2///" in the scanner. The tracks are populated but they still do not play.

I have to go into phpMyadmin to the songs folder where the track have been populated and change "folder2\\track" to "folder2/track". Now te player plays and I can use the folder scanner.

This work around is not really ideal because I have to go and change so much manually in the database. Is there something in the code that I can change to fix this?

good workaround.
yes, youre right, its not ideal. the problem is with the installation on windows server, because windows uses \\ instead of / for folder separation and that causes problems. we are working on it and we'll publish an update to solve it ON SEPTEMBER

hope you can wait a little
