Genres
- List of genres, ignore itemsperpage
-- Albums within genre, sorted by artist, year
--- Tracks within album

Years
- List of years, sorted in DESCENDING order, ignore itemsperpage
-- Albums within year, sorted by artist
--- Tracks within album

The key is the ability to select a hierarchy and a unique sort order
(unlike the current sorting implementation) within the hierarchy.

I've been playing with CustomBrowse and like it, but editing the XML
files to modify the behavior obviously isn't ideal.  If you could
create a user interface for designing a hierarchy and sort order, then
that would be tits.

Also, I'd love to have the ability to put a custom browse up on the
home menu, rather than needing to go through another menu layer.  Any
chance this could become a core part of SlimServer's interface, rather
than a plugin?

A couple of other points:

In the gallery view of albums, you should display artist and year with
the album name.

Until the browse paging and alphapagebar are fixed, all browsing that
uses the alphapagebar is of limited use at best.  IMO, this is really a
critical bug right now.
