Hi everyone!

I have been working on getting my script up and running , but cant seem to figure out how to give an album an unique ID number.

The script i have so far:

```
$loop(%_folderpath%)%title%;$ifgreater($strstr($lower($get(memdirectory)),$lower(%_directory%)),0,test($get(memcounter)),$put(memcounter,%_counter%));$puts(memdirectory,%_directory%);

```

I use $strstr($lower($get(memdirectory)),$lower(%\_directory%)) to compare the current directory with the previous directory (memdirectory) and determine if this is true (1) or untrue (0).

I cannot figure this out and have been working 6 hours on it......

This is what i would like to accomplish, but i guess i am just to stupid to figure it out...
