I really find it frustrating when I just want to listen to a few new tracks of music right NOW. Download a twenty second demo clip of music and want to listen to it through the Squeezebox? Royal pain in the butt.

A browse mode of 'Browse > Removable Music' could be created and use BMF-type browsing and logic, > except it would put the metadata into a temporary table separate from > the main library.
