i've said this lots of times before but it fits here too... the home>artists, home>albums, "master list" etc system sucks.
if you just made multiple views all of which that let you sort by whatever criteria / tags you wanted, SBS could work for anything. so you could make however many "views" you wanted. then, once made, each one would remember however it was last sorted. users could then define what sort order they wanted, so it would be something like this: home>view 1 sorted as album artist, year, album home>view 2 sorted as artists home>view 3 sorted as genres home>view 4 sorted as composers, title home>view 5 sorted as conductor, album each view could be user named, and more than 5 could be done of course. sorts would basically allow users to custom view their library based on whats in their tags. allow users to decide if they want to browse by artists or album artists, don't force them to use one or the other. that goes for all the tags. and whichever one is first determines the hierarchy, so if your sort order had albums first, that would be like home>albums is now, where each album only shows up once. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbrec & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.4b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 48k+ mp3 ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86452 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
