I have recently purchased a Duet and I'm currently getting into the
wonderful world of SqueezeCenter.

On my QNAP TS-209 Pro I am running SC 7.1 - 21605. I use the
Multi-Library plugin a lot because I have a "normal" music collection
(ripped from my CDs) plus a spoken word collection and then another
music collection which is made up of mostly downloaded files where each
artist will maybe only have 1 or 2 tracks and there may not be an album
as such. On the disk, my music folders look like:

Music Library/Music CDs/Pop/Artist1/Album1/Track1...
Music Library/Music CDs/Reggae/Artist1/Album1/Track1...
Music Library/Spoken Word/Crime/Author1/Book1/Track1...
Music Library/Spoken Word/Kids/Author1/Book1/Track1...
Music Library/Indie Tracks/Track1...

I pretty much mirror this using Multi-Library (eg I have "Crime",
"Kids" etc. multi-libraries with a menu group of "Spoken Word") and
that is working fine.

However, on my duet controller, under Music Library, as well as the
"Music CDs", "Spoken Word" and "Indie Tracks" menus I have the standard
Artists, Albums, Genres, Years, New Music etc. menus. The problem with
these is that the Indie Tracks introduce a huge number of artists and
albums that just confuse the issue! These standard browse techniques
become unusable and I'd like to get rid of them if I could. Is there
anyway of hiding the standard browse menus? Failing that, moving my
multi-library custom browsers to the top of the list would be a huge
improvement. Would the "Library Order" parameter achieve this - I have
no idea what it is.

BTW I cannot change the settings for Custom Browser (at least not the
menu ones) if I have multi-library enabled - the browser times out I
think and I am left with an empty settings frame. The QNAP goes to 100%
for a while, and does not finish whatever it has to do until after the
page has timed out - anyway of increasing that time? I guess the poor
thing has too many custom menus to process when the multi-libraries are
defined. I have to disable the multi-library plugin, restart SC, change
the custom browser menus, re-enable multi-library, then restart SC
again. As you can imagine, this is a real pain!

Last, but by no means least, thank you Erland for these fantastic
plugins - they make a world of difference!
