I don't know much about programming. In my simple world, the basic structures for menus already are there, as you have proven. :) All that's missing is that LMS scans for these tags and makes them available. But again, that's my simple world. afriend wrote: > Your way of browsing classical music sounds interesting.

RECORDING is a hybrid to easily distinguish the recordings I have of a work, a concerto, for example. For a solo concert it looks like this: Hélène Grimaud / Masur / New York Philharmonic (1999, live) (ARTIST / CONDUCTOR [last name only] / BAND (RECYEAR)) Artist only is not suffient. I have four different Karajan recordings of Beethoven's 9th. And I guess there's more of them. I build an action in mp3tag do that automatically. As I relied on Squeezeplay heavily before discovering SLX, I needed to shorten the information in this tag a bit, as the information would have been cut off and I'd would have wait for it to scroll. That's why operas are tagged like "Basso, Gottwald, Gauvin (2011)" (the first three singers mentioned). Maybe I'll change that at some point. I introduced OCCASION for the Bach cantatas. For example "Schwingt freudig euch empor, BWV 36" has "Advent;Advent I" as OCCASION. Now if it's advent and I want to listen to whatever music is associated with Advent, I can easily browse there. It's fun. afriend wrote: > So anyway, if you need some standard (natively supported) browse menus > (artists, albums, genres, years, composer...) for some genre or virtual > library (like the umlaut audiobook menu you asked for), I guess I could > be of assistance.

The problem with these customs is that they are very slow sometimes (for example, loading the Genre menu sometimes takes 30s or more. Then again, sometimes it's instantaneous.) I wasn't able to discern a pattern. Maybe it's a caching thing and the 3GB are maxed out.
