Most of us want flexible browsing instead of new options, so we don't have to argue about that. Unfortunately this have never been a priority for Logitech and I haven't seen any indication that it's about to change. I don't want to add ALBUMARTIST tags to my normal albums. I do have it on most since I've tagged most of my music with musicbrainz, but I think people that haven't tagged their music with musicbrainz probably only have an ARTIST tag for a normal album. So we need a solution that handles that case, preferably without the need to re-tag your whole library. The information is there since the music have an ARTIST tag, so it's just a matter of using it correctly. As Jim indicates earlier in the thread, I completely agree that it would be preferred to have multiple browse menus that made it possible to browse music by main artists or browse music by all artists. To me, it makes more sense to separate: - Main artists - All artists Instead of the current solution where we separate: - Artists on normal albums - Artists on compilation albums MrSinatra;600382 Wrote: > > please have another look at this thread: > > http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74822 > Logitech has always preferred consistency between the different user interfaces in front of optimizing each interface for the devices used to view it. So instead of making the web interface optimized for usage from a computer, it's more or less limited to what's possible in the IR/Controller interface. The situation is the same on the Touch where the touch interface isn't really optimized for usage on a touch screen, it's limited by the fact that the interface also has to work on a Radio or Controller without a touch screen. From a maintenance perspective, I can definitely understand why Logitech want to keep the different interfaces as similar as possible but from a user perspective it just limits the possibilities. -- erland Erland Isaksson ('My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info)) (Developer of 'many plugins/applets' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/User:Erland).
