I'm glad you asked because there is one thing that I've been meaning to ask you about which might improve things a bit. I'll try to explain things as best as I can. When one is listening to a given recording, say one by Duke Ellington, and one opens muso to the album "now playing" screen, along the right side there is displayed "More by this artist", which lists all the other recordings in one's music library by the artist with the same name, and below that "By Similar Artists", which lists recordings in one's music library by "similar artists". Okay two suggestions/questions/comments/whatever: For the "More by this artist" listing - I've noticed that only recordings by artists with the EXACT same name show up in this list. For example when playing a recording by the artist "Duke Ellington" one only sees recordings by artist "Duke Ellington" but not any recordings with the name "Duke Ellington" as part of the artist name, e.g. ""Duke Ellington & John Coltrane" or ""Duke Ellington Quartet". Is there a way to add all the recordings by artists with "Duke Ellington" as part of the artist's name? For the "By Similar Artists" listing - first how are the similar artists selected and second is there a way to override or add to the list of whom MUSO considers similar artists. So for example when playing Duke Ellington the similar artists list only includes "Count Basie" but not "Benny Carter", "Benny Goodman", "Ben Webster" or "Billy Strayhorn" etc. These four artists being but a small sampling of artists similar to Duke Ellington. Expanding either or both of these lists would greatly improve MUSO as far as this jazz fan is concerned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
