Certainly it would be nice to have a way browsing only artists that have albums or all artists, or only composers, or only orchestras, etc. But for almost all casual users, this is not a problem at all. Why do you see it a PROBLEM for your specific needs? Does it prevent you from playing something? Do you really need to do it often? I didn't think that you personally ever used Browse Artists.
It is possible to configure the Artists list to show all artists, and therefore would have all album artists in the list. it can be configured to hide a multitude of artists that mostly otherwise clutter the list, and in most cases, most users prefer that, in that they don't often Browse Artists to find a single obscure track that happens to exist on one compilation album. Browsing artists isn't really designed for that reason. That said, SBS is flexible enough to allow third-party plugins to access the data, as it isn't held as "one master list", and thus different ways of browsing can be provided. Custom Browse provides this. > if i go into home>artists or home>albums, etc, its always ALL of them, > the same one master list (of sbs AA). No it's not. The artists list is configurable, somewhat. You configure what types of artists you want to see in the list, such that you don't have to filter it every time you want to browse. It has been designed for browsing a filtered set of albums. i.e. you select an artist, and then see only albums relating to that artist. For that reason, it's been designed to show only a list of artists that have albums. -- Philip Meyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philip Meyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=95 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84475 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
