Hi Gilles,

Thanks for your reply and your testing!

I am almost sure that it will be rather difficult to incorporate a
Composers menu item without any server changes or a plug-in. In my
current test version, I have pretty much an additional Composer menu
entry in My Music which gets cached and behaves just like the Artists
menu. This is based on CustomBrowse and I have written a manual that
explains how to set it up. It is not that difficult, but will give you
exactly what you are after.

As far as the time progress is concerned, that was implemented from day
1. :-) I wonder whether it is due to an older server version. Let me
know which server version you use and I will see what is going on.
Certainly the server I use (7.7.2) seems to work fine.

Holding the cover is an good idea. I will see how I can integrate this.

I am currently testing the next release (1.10) which will hopefully be
out shortly and that will come with caching support for composers. It
might be worth trying this anyway. You can get a test license for
CustomBrowse and with that short manual, you should be up and running
quickly.

Keep the suggestions coming.

Best wishes,

Marc.
