WAV file problem

WAV file problem
I have just installed minimserver to get at some files (WAV) that our dear, old, reliable Twonky (Should be renamed "Twitny") will not access. While minimserve does access the files, it sees them only under albums and it is one very large file that at the end of all the albums has a File Folder called [no album]. Inside of this [no album] are all of the WAV file albums blown to pieces: all of the 01 tracks, then the 02s, and so on. So to actually listen to say a disc that has 15 tracks on it, I'll have to go through them manually, add them individually to the playlist, and then save the playlist under the album name: a situation that makes Twonky seem seamless and trouble-free. Any suggestions from someone who is familiar with this problem? The files are on an external hard-drive [WD My Book], and the NAS is a WD My Book Live.

I had converted some files I really wanted to hear from WAV to flac files, but Twonky still does not read them on the NAS.Undecided

Many thanks.

If you have stored each album in a separate folder, the simplest way to find and play these albums would be to use [folder view] and navigate to the folders containing the albums.
