My iTunes library has a few folders that I don't want to see when I browse all of my music, for example, there is an "Album Art" folder that I dont want to see. Is there a way to hide folders?

Any thoughts on this?

not that I know of, but you can use the music library and none of that stuff will show up.

OK I'll try that. It will probably take forever to scan in 6000 tunes ti library.

Can it do this because its using tags instead of file structures?

To scan my 15,000 or so mp3's that have imbedded cover art, takes about 15 minutes.

I read this but it seems to apply to Library process. I'm not using that yet. Do you think it should apply to simple file listing too?

I want to hide a folder - not display it. Is that a possibility?
