Great! I definitely vote for the approach with divs instead of tables, should make it much easier to create customized style versions! >From your initial work and your mention of big experience with XSLT & Co. I'll try a bit around with that but won't interfer much on that field ;-) *Andy*: Regarding the retrieval script itself I personally would prefer the option to sort the albums in the well-known "Artist -> Year -> Album" way as possible in the SC album view. Of course, it might be best to make this an additional option... In general this is fairly easy by modifying the album request over the CLI (add "sort:artwork" to the request). Initial trial doesn't work, though. I will check why this doesn't fit to the parsing.
