I'd say search feature is very interesting and very useful but not mandatory. People having several thousands of CD's and CD players can use their library and know where are their CDs. I had a few hundreds and had no problem. In my opinion, people starting to rip CDs care too much about tags, and not enough about having sensible folders structure with one folder per CD and meaningful file naming scheme. When you rip CDs, you shouldn't have less than with CDs. The search option is a plus. The equivalent of choosing a CD in a physical library is to browse folders, and the equivalent to choose a track on a CD is to select a file in a folder. I guess it is enough for most people. The search option is only a (very useful) plus, but only a plus. -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90147 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
