Oh, and here's another one I forgot:
I recently switched from iTunes to MusicIP Mixer as a source for the SS
scan. (those 2 are BTW still in sync)
In the iTunes settings, we had the ability to ex- or include unchecked
songs.
It would be great to be able to do the same with disabled MMM songs.
Not sure if this has been mentioned but I would like to have an IR input
