I can beta test. Would it be possible to import stats from a 6.5 backup?
Would it be possible to export (eg. to iTunes), and then import back to avoid
losing stats (although this would currently only be .mp3 files, as I haven't
figured out how to get the .mp3->flac import from iTunes working yet)? To be
honest, losing updates made in 7.0 beta wouldn't be a problem, as long as I can
always import the old 6.5 or iTunes stats back.

A way of changing the sort ordering of lists from a SB, so users don't need to
create many similar menus with similar names. Could work like
context-sensitive mixers, eg. when viewing a list of albums, call up something
like the mixer to:
"change sort order"
album name,
year
with trackstat installed, user could also configure to order by last played
date, play count, rating, etc. Could allow the configuration of a list of sort
options (user can enable/disable/add additional sort options - eg. tags from
custom scan).
One thing maybe would be a quick way to build a custom browse menu heirarchy.
Ideas here include configuring menu strings like "artist/year/album", like
Foobar media library allows, and also a menu builder like "My Picks OPML
Editor" plugin for organising the custom browse menus (Web UI to visually see
the menu list that is being built).
