AKAI Samples Folder Organisation

2002-08-15 by nozehed

I've imported about 15 different AKAI CD-ROMs into my EXS. When 
doing this, I chose to put each CD into it's own sub-folder. My 
instruments folder is nice and organised, but the AKAI Samples 
folder is a disaster because it's put all of the folders of all of 
the libraries in the root of the AKAI Samples folder!

This folder now has 1300 folders in it, and I would like to remove 
one of the libraries to make space for a new one. How can I figure 
out which folder is for which library? The names of the folders are 
cryptic.

What SHOULD happen during the import process is....a sub-folder in 
the AKAI Samples folder be created with the same name that's used 
for the sub-folder in the Sampler Instruments folder. This would 
mean to uninstall a library (or even just the samples to it) is as 
simple as deleting that particular library's folder out of the AKAI 
Samples folder.

Anybody else in this situation?
