Andrei will have to tell you if he actually stores the paths in the OCD DB. I'm not sure.

At one point, though, he did introduce a PATH property that could be called from a template or theme. However, it was disabled shortly after - due to some technical problems.

That was part of the reason I wrote CMI_Play. Linking it to iTunes was just one way to simplify the process, since the iTunes naming convention was simple to figure out. And it seems to work fine for those of us who use OCD to manage our commercial audio CDs (and who don't hate iTunes, of course).

However, for anyone who has a large collection of MP3 files, downloaded from here and there, CMI_Play has little to offer.

Maybe Andrei plans to re-enable the PATH property in the upcoming OCD v.6.0. Who knows?
