Two entry of one album

[DavidHB]

I think that Simon's suggestion is a better approach in principle, and only avoided suggesting it because I didn't know whether there were disk space issues, or whether sorting out precisely which music was on which drive would be a hassle.

My own approach takes this one stage further. I use the Microsoft SyncToy to create a mirror image of my PC music folder (analogous to the laptop folder in this case) on my NAS (analogous to the RPi). Normal listening is done from the NAS, but I have a MinimServer installation on my PC for test purposes. The separate instances of MinimServer see only the music folder on the device on which they are installed.

For this approach to be useful, (1) the laptop would need to be running Windows, which would need to see the music folder on the RPi as a network folder, and (2) there would need to be enough space on both drives to hold whole the music library.
