As to your other points:-
1. No shortcuts.
2.
Is it correct to assume when you say that you "browse by artist/album"
you mean you are browsing using the directory structure of your files?
Are you sure you're not getting "Music Folder" mixed up with "My Music",
which are different menu levels? That is, you are doing _everything_ via

Thanks for all the comments, here are some answers.
SlimChances - I use the music folder and browse by artist/album.
aubuti - I use both servers but when accessing the PC I use LMS. It is
LMS that I am talking about here i.e. I rescan the music folder (which

In all your ranting you haven't bothered saying whether you are using
the Touch's built-in server or are running LMS on a proper computer. If

Sorry you are having problems, but the software does work. One just
needs to understand how it works and organize and tag their music

If not tagged correctly then browse by Music Folder instead of by Artist

stored individual folders for each album? Also try a clear library and
rescan rather than just scanning for new music

This is an ongoing fault.
Initially, LMS scanned the music folder OK but soon got out of sync.
Now, most folders in LMS point to to completely wrong music.
The SBT itself is useless - it cannot play what is in the music folder:
worse, it lists a whole load of spurious folders for the same artis
