After much digging around the web looking for the perfect music browser, I registered Muso. I don't think there is anything else out there that comes close to what you have achieved so far with this program. So congratulations.
Having said that...as I said in a previous post, there are frustrations. While I cannot find a serious flaw in Muso when browsing pop music, it's not very useful when browsing large classical collections. For example: I have well over 100 albums of music by JS Bach. As I browse through them in Muso, I can't work out a useful way to order them so that I can find things quickly. There isn't any way to break the albums down into further sub-sections by using tags. When you have a large classical collection of CDs, you would sub-divide popular composers into sections (instrumental/chamber/orchestral/vocal/etc) -- at least that's what I do. Only then do I sort alphabetically. I think many people with large classical collections would take the same approach. And I have done the same with my digital files -- I use tags to create the sections, and I mirror that by having a similar structure for system folders. If I need to find music quickly on my Squeezebox or MP3 player, I browse by music folder. That's why I did suggest in a previous post two ways you could address this issue (either allowing the user to browse by system folders, or using multiple tags, including user-created (custom) tags. I realise that neither is a trivial request, but I sincerely hope you consider one of these options, because at the moment you have the perfect browser for pop music, but in my opinion it's still not usable for large classical collections. Keep up the good work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9569 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
