Cool. Can the grid itself be pinned down (td widths, for instance) within the skin? How about thumbnails to the left of albums in the Brows Artist list as well, instead of just the album name? This would be at the Home/Browse Artists/[ArtistName] level. May as well add year while you're at it. :) My problem with Browse Albums is that since the sort order is by album name, for practical purposes it presents a nearly random ordering of music. Like most people, I normally store CDs grouped by artist. I can definitely see a use for finding things like soundtracks and other various artist collections by album name, but for _browsing_ grouping by artist seems a lot more functional. -- JJZolx _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
