So, how about exporting the list of album names to a file (a process about which I know nothing!) then with some careful font trickery, print out something which looks like all the spines of your CD's - pin this to the wall in sections and hey presto - random, browsable and inspirational - finally, grab the remote and play your selection! - On a more serious note - I would love to be able to easily 'get at' the data held by Slimserver in some text file form - if only to permit fine tuning of all my tags - though I would like to produce some form of catalogue for perusal. In the mean time I use the web interface to spot inaccuracies like miss-spelt artists and/or albums that produce duplication etc.

I do this also, and know exactly what you mean about wanting to scan quickly through CDs to see which one 'jumps out'. One thing that sometimes works well is to hit one of the keys on the remote while browsing by artist. Hit it 1-3 times, and you end up in a semi-random place in your collection. Then, either scroll down one-by-one, or if you have a lot of albums, hold the scroll for a while. Assuming you previously sorted your physical CDs by artist name, this at least simulates walking up your CD storage unit, picking a shelf at random, and scanning it.
