I suppose it depends on what you mean by handle well. If I type "great" into the search box, there are quite a few different greatest hits albums that show up -- and some not so greatest hits ... who knew Roy Acuff sang about a great speckled bird. But, a few more characters limits it appropriately -- "blo" leaves my with Blondie's greatest hits, for example. Adding "fla" ensured that I get only the flac versions of the tracks and not the mp3's. The way it works is that the search looks for the typed characters in any possible field, artist, album, song, file name, directory, etc. So, if you are looking for something in particular, you only need know a little bit about it. For instance, I bought a couple of MP3's from amazon, and stored them in a directory called _amazon_. So, typing "_am" brings them all up. And, the best part is that it is fast working more or less in real time as you type. -- drs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3536 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60755 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
