I would like functionality similar to this b/c I spend a lot of time searching for a particular album or artist to listen to, usually music I haven't listened to much yet or my favorites. The "Browse New Music" function is nice, but doesn't include older music I haven't listened to yet. I don't know if there is anything equivalent to iTunes' smart playlists available for SS where you can create a playlist based on playcount and date added, but even then you couldn't browse the list by artist or album.
I was thinking you could have a special kind of "playlist" that would list albums (or artists). Then I could add albums to the list and then easily browse by album (or artist) to find what I want. I could also remove an album from this list after I have listened to it. Optimally, I could add and remove albums to/from this list with the remote. Perhaps a SS plug-in could generate the initial lists by parsing song tags based on criteria you specify (again, like iTunes' smart playlists). You could use the Comment tags (or additional Genre tags) to assign songs (more permanently) to a particular category, say "Dad's music". -- jsmathers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jsmathers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3848 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20755 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
