There's already a sort by feature, which is broken. It could be fixed and enhanced, without adding any complexity. That *could* lead to performance problems for power users with hundreds of albums for a single artist, *if* they were to sort by contributor role. But a similar issue would happen today if they sort by "artist, album", surely? Browsing an artist in Spotify follows a very similar principle. It lists the artists most popular songs first, then their regular albums (in descending year order), then their singles, and then compilations. Various other web resources present an artists works in a similar way, its not an alien concept. eg. AMG provides a separate list of albums, compilation appearances, singles & EPs, and Others. There are many other areas of the product that are more complex than what is being discussed here. >IIRC (CDs, that was the last millennium, wasn't it?) most people didn't >sort their CDs at all.... > Everyone I knew who had CDs stored them in an order. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
