nero 6 dvd back up mp3

[spruce]

When i back up my mp3's on a dvd i open the artist folder select all and add . That is a lot of work.
What would happen if i click on the artist folder and click add?

then on your data DVD you'll have the MP3 files inside a folder (the Artist folder), not in the root directory of the DVD.

anyway why is it a lot of work?
Control-A
or: Edit -> Select All
hardly a lot of work...

Its because i have 95 folders

OK you didn't say that.

it depends on what you want.
if you want all the MP3 files from all the artist folders in the DVD's root folder, you'll have to select all etc. 95 times.
if you select all the folders and drag them to the Nero compilation, you'll have in the DVD 95 folders and inside them the MP3 files. i don't know if that's what you or how your MP3 player will handle it.

Last fall i backed up two full dvd's mp3 and pics and it took me forever to do it.It looks like i will have to do the same.
Mind you this is only for back up in case of crash or format.
Thanks for your reply.

if it's for backup, why not simply copy the FOLDERS into the Nero comilation window?
much quicker and more convenient too (files more organized).

I was not shure if it would work thats why i ask. Will do that next time i back up . Thanks for your reply.

if all of the folders which you are backing up are in the same place, with one Control-A you can select all of them and drag them all at once !
