Are you trying to make the user select songs based on artist or type? If the same song appear in more than one category, then you have a problem, because you have to make duplicates of the file, and this wastes disk space. The solution is to use some form of DB, with tables for songs and categories and the path to the song file, so they can be retrieved in various ways.
From: Daryl Muellenberg on 31 Mar 2010 12:44 It sounds like he is referring to the file details when talking about selecting what information to display. In Windows Explorer you can right click on a column heading and then select which details (artist, title, genre, etc.) you would like to display. But I'm not sure how he is accessing this information to put into a listbox and then modify it.

Somewhere you have code that fills the listbox with items (using its AddItem method). What does that code look like? That is where you will learn what is being shown in the listbox.... In a generic sense, a program has input, and it does some modification to produce some output. If you show us exactly what the input is, and also exactly what the output should be, we all would be in a better position to help with the modification part! HTH LFS
