Wouldn't it be easier to just process those folders to put .dirname.mp3
clips in there? I've done that with my .rockbox folder, playlists and
videos folders, etc. All of my folders, actually. =) Since I don't have
very many folders outside the music file directory tree, it only takes a
couple of seconds to do all the rest. I usually create and/or rename
folders when my recorder is hooked up to the PC anyway, so it's not at
all inconvenient. There are also flags that can be changed in the
vbscript telling it not to overwrite existing files if you just want to
reprocess all the folders on your Archos. That way it'll only process
newly added folders and leave all existing clips intact.
