I've got at least 500 CDs that I intend to rip (not sure what
that'll be
in gigs)... I've got around 200 albums already as ogg and the current
interface isn't bad but it is getting a little unwieldy.
How is it unwieldy? People whine and moan about it, but I've not
seen one description of either a) how it's bad, or b) how to make it
better that would actually work with a remote control.
Well, for me there are 5 things that would make it already a lot more
usable:
1. Have something like splitartist that includes album names.
Especially usefull if you have a lot of albums with various artists
but even so, believe it or not, I often can remember album names
without knowing exactly the artist name.
2. Have an "all" item in the splitartist that will contain all artists
for those times that you're just browsing. (in combination with #1 it
might be usefull to have an "all artists" and "all albums")
3. Have multiple levels for splitartist (again to be combined with #1
and #2 if possible of course) because some letters still have so many
items in them that scrolling around in them still is difficult.
4. Make it so that the option "list as shuffled" has no effect on the
"all my music" entry. I like seeing what is next but I always have
this option turned off because it makes the "all my music" entry
impossible to browse through.
5. Have some kind of menu where you could select things like: "play
current album" and "play current artist" which would mean clearing the
curent playlist and setting it to the current album or artist.
No spectacular changes as you can see, just things that would make
life a bit more pleasant :-)
Cheers,

I think a start would be to have a similar interface that the 'Find
Programs' uses where there is a column of 0-9 and A-Z that would speed
up searching for the Artist.
