Re: [slim] Browsing artists entering multiple characters on SB Classic?
Just mentioning this in case someone else is interested in this, or one day stumbles onto this thread: I tried to contact the creator of the plugin, but it seems I am much too late to this party, and he has left the premises a long time ago. jistme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63566 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108611 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

My memory for album titles is not as good as it used to be (in the years that I owned less than 100 records ;-) 'Blue' by JM I would remember, but especially for newer artists, and for my ever increasing library it's quite hard to remember all album titles. jistme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63566 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108611 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Thank you kidstypike! And of course Stuart Hickinbottoms! The only thing that it doesn't seem to be able to do, is search through Album Artist exclusively?
