I tried the symlinks, whith a reconstruction of the database , but with this method i encountered some board effect, which are :

if the new folder hierachy have some album and music which have the same name than other album and music stored in the main hierachy , MPD play the first one , not really the one choosen.

As i would like to use this feature for test purpose, i have a lot of album and music which are duplicate , .... so it's a difficult to now what song in the hierachy is playing

perhaps there is a way to bypass this ?

BTW I tried it myself using albums with exactly the same name. In my iPod client mPod it shows as two albums with the same name and I can select both. It is of course impossible to know from the client which album is which, so it is not very convenient, but it does work.

So my guess is that your mpd-client may not be handling this properly and it may not be a fault of mpd.
