[dba-Tech] Empty folders

Hmm, that sounds cool... is xcopy part of windows?

I'll do that when I'm done re-ripping, thanks Gary

If you xcopy the whole directory structure and use the /S option it will 
copy sub-folders but NOT empty ones. You could copy all your music to a 
different major directory name, make sure it did what you want, then delete 
or rename the original one and rename back to the original name.

You also could do something with a utility like Karen's Directory Printer - 
part of Karen's Power Tools utilities - available at
http://www.karenware.com/powertools/powertools.asp

I have used it to extract file directory stuff into text files
