Columns & drilling down a subdirectory

Recently migrated to Foobar2000 from MediaMonkey (which I liked for the most part, but occasionally it caused various hung processes on my pc). For the life of me, I can't figure out how to browse by subdirectory in which my media is kept. MediaMonkey has the ability to view one's library by physical file location (or artist, or genre, or album, etc), allowing drilling down into subdirectories, and add individual tunes or a whole directory (which may be an album) - to the playlist, etc. I simply can't find a way to do this in foobar2000. The "Folder" column certainly doesn't allow subdirectory tree traversal.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Library->Album List

Use the "by Folder" view.

So does fb2k, but you have to be looking at the Library, not a playlist. 

There are also many alternative Library viewers if the Album List isn't your favorite. Certainly one should suit your needs.

OK, cool - that does the trick. I knew that it had to be somewhere! I changed the UI element to show the Library list and now have much easier browsing.

Thanks!
