In a separate thread http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18767 we (mainly Listener and I !) have been discussing how the Slimserver/Squeezebox combination could be radically improved for users of Classical music (who, lets face it, are not well served by any of the computer audio systems).
After much debate we've come up with a series of enhancement requests, which taken together should make a huge difference to this community of users. As a bonus, we're pretty sure that some of them would also greatly improve the lot of other users, especially ones with complex music collections or unusual tagging or browsing requirements. We've attempted to structure this as a series of changes, some of which could be done fairly quickly, which build up into something which is MUCH better than we have today. So, there are now 6 new enhancement requests in bugzilla - please visit and vote! Discussion here, I presume. 1: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2696 - Recognise additional contributor type "performer" 2: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2697 - Allow alternate Orchestra and Ensemble tags for "band" 3: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2698 - Extend "Advanced Search" in Web interface for more tags 4: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2699 - Widen list of tags for browsing in Remote UI 5: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2700 - Allow User Defined Tag for Browse and Search 6: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2701 - Need ability to browse multiple tags in flexible order (Multi-Level Browse) Of these, the last one is the most important - the others either lay necessary foundations or are interim measures. The last is also I think amenable to being done as a plug-in, once at least some of the others are done. Looking forward to some comments and some votes!
