As per pippin's reply to my 'orignal request' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?51929-iPeng-support-thread&p=862354&viewfull=1#post862354) posted in the ipeng thread, i'm reposting my question here as it seems to be rather a LMS question than an ipen question -)

I'm coming from a Sonos system and there one has the search through 'tracks' option. I'm missing this feature. 2-> The screenshot is just one from the default settings. I removed the "track" folder already, but if you put whatever what, you can only pick the settings which are predefined under 'browse by' and 'Contribiton roles' (no song/track names there). Question was on how to add this (if possible?) 3-> i'll check the two other options, thanks! +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: browsemode.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21065| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Toothless's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66038 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106118 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
