Sounds pretty good to me - thanks for having a go at this.

I'll have a play with this latest offering.  I suspect I'll probably stick with 
the old Artists list, as I like Bands to be included and I have Custom Browse 
for more specific browse methods, but i'll certainly give the new browse 
methods a go.

That would possibly swing it for me.


In general, I think my library has got to a size where I don't really see much 
point/need to browse artists.  If I know the artist I'm looking for, I use the 
search functionality.  Otherwise if I'm trying to decide what to play, I play 
random stuff, or browse Genre > Artists > Albums, or browse New Music or a 
specific year.
