HP Media Collector The photo example shows two panes with different file/folder organizations for the same group of sample photos.
HP MediaSmart Server User's Guide In contrast, the right pane is organized by PC folder structure If photos are found under a user’s home Pictures folder, then they will be grouped just under the user’s name with the underlying folder organization.

This may result in some duplicate photos being represented once.
HP Media Collector Example of Music Collected by Artist/Album and by PC Folder Structure We’ll start by looking at the underlying data used to build the two examples below. The files that are shown are based on two music collections. One group is located under user Susan’s home Music folder, with some songs organized by album as well as some that are included within her iTunes library. This music could be on any particular computer in the network, or even split across two computers.
HP MediaSmart Server User's Guide Things to Consider Organize by Artist/Album Organize by PC Folder Structure Uses music file tags to organize files Sorts files by user or source computer Reduces duplication of files on the server Good for maintaining original music sorting On the left, the files are organized by Artist/Album There are two things of interest 1. The two groups of music files are now organized uniformly, and 2.
HP Media Collector On the other hand, if the music was found on a computer in a folder other than your home Music folder, it will be grouped under the computer name, with a path showing their placement on the computer. This type of organization is most helpful if you have organized your music in a special way and doesn’t want to lose this folder structure or if multiple users have different quality versions of the music and you want to maintain the multiple copies of songs.
