Hi Personally I don't like the idea of using either a standard or user-specific fixed sub-genre structure like this. While I have genre values along the lines you suggest I also use values which wouldn't really classify well like that. The multi-level browse I had envisaged would allow you to make a selection on a tag (eg Genre) and then to make another selection on another tag (which could be Genre or something else). That would allow you to filter on Genre=Classical Genre=Romantic Genre=Symphony which would give you the hierarchical search you are thinking of, but would also allow me to filter on Genre=Romantic Genre=Loud Genre=Choral And, of course, to have a Conductor=Karajan in the mix if we felt like it... If some of the defined "enhanced data" fields you are interested in are something you would want to make much use of, I think that would be better served by using a custom tag for that purpose: we can do that today with one of erland's plugins (thats how I have PERFORMER in use at the moment!) but there are many more ways this could be used - see another of my requests, http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2700 BTW - not sure what problems you are having with creating a password in bugzilla - you do know it is entirely separate from the forums?
