Excellent summation, Jim. A suggestion for a resolution of the problem - Integrate the custom Scan and Custom browse functionality into SqueezeCenter so that users can specify what's in the menus - Document that functionality with an explanation of concepts and some how-tos. - Provide some flexibility in mapping tags from a specific format to internal names. (TPE2 = Band or TPE2 = Album Artist.) Ceejay filed some bug reports (2696-2701) for enhancements for classical music a long time ago based on threads to which he and I contributed. Those enhancements got plenty of votes but no action. Erland's plugins implement some of this functionality but it really should be thoroughly integrated with SqueezeCenter itself. You can go on with these fruitless arguments where everyone argues that the way his first player s/w worked is the one true way or you can enhance SqueezeCenter to allow each user to do things his preferred way.
