Would it be any problem to copy this browser to a Synology DS-106
running SlimServer 6.3.1 (memory usage, external programs...)?

A new version (1.5) of the Custom Browse plugin is now available, some
of the things mentioned in this thread has been implemented in the new

I think the problem arises due to the limitation of tagging. It would be
useful if a track could have many genre and artist tags. Of course it
could be that I haven't tagged my music correctly.Slimserver does allow a

I'd hate to type them all in though. Do they exist in any of the

Marc, Why would you need the !filter, do you multiple genres assigned to
each track? A nice idea to be able to browse through named preset
filters.
Yes, this has been discussed in detail in the past on this list, when
the original Random Mix plugin was being developed. For example,
I'd like Browse Artists to be split into Compilations and Artist Albums,
so:
-- Albums
Artist Albums
--(all albums with a single artist, or with album artist set)
Compilations
--(all albums identified as Various Artists either by inference or
the compilation tag)

Gerph, I guess we'll just have to wait till fixed media becomes more
popular, I am sure the band information mustcome online at some point.

Your ideas are all great, keep more comming.
Some comments regarding some of the already posted ideas:
BERNT
- Your idea to sort albums by year when an artist already has been
selected in the parent menu seems logical, I will change this.

- Searching is out of scope for the Custom Browse
Pat,
Flac comments can do all that the problem is getting it into the
database. Freedb has only minimal tags in the database.
This should be possible:

Actually there are two parts to the problem:
1) getting the data
2) storing the data into the Mysql tables.

Nice idea. I just had a look at your home page and saw all the tools
you have developed.
For flac files you can use multiple artist comments according to the
slimwiki. I am not sure if it is still valid for 6.5. I understand that
the mySQL database is new in 6.5 but I haven't had a good

Sure, you just have to figure out how the SQL should look like. The

I haven't slogged thru tags in my collection lately, my software is old
