Hey @bachoo786, I’ve been following your progress with the folder nesting—it’s a tricky bit of logic to get right in the node_helper, but it’ll be worth it for the cleaner UI!
One thing I noticed while setting up my own music module is that the player looks a lot better if the MP3 metadata (ID3 tags) is actually clean. If the tags are messy, the ‘Artist’ and ‘Title’ fields on the mirror usually end up looking like a jumble of underscores and file extensions.
Since you’re organizing a big library right now, I’ve been using https://editmp3tags.com/ to quickly fix the tags in the browser before dropping them into the music folder. It’s way faster than using a heavy desktop app and helps the module display everything correctly once you get that ‘better method’ logic sorted out.

RE: MMM-AlarmClock popup not appearing when alarm goes off
Hey, I ran into a similar issue before — the popup didn’t appear even though the alarm triggered. In my case, it turned out to be a config issue with the notification settings in the module. Try checking if the showPopup option is enabled and that you don’t have another module overlapping it on the screen.
Also, while testing your setup, you can use something like onlinealarm.co
to verify your alarm times are correct before syncing it with MagicMirror — makes debugging way easier.
