If you put the performers in the comment tag, you could use the advanced search function. But, I agree, the advanced search function is useless for me right now. A couple of things could make it more useful. - Support for more tags, like rating for example. And, why not, support for the performer tag. - It would be great if we could save a given search. For example, suppose you want to hear Glen Gould playing J.S. Bach. You could do the following search: - Artist: J.S. Bach - Perfomer: Glen Gould or, alternatively: - comment: performer is Glen Gould Then you save your search, give it a name, something like "Gould plays Bach". So the next time you'll want to hear Gould playing Bach, you'll just have to click on "Gould plays Bach". And I assume your search would auto-update: if you add an album where Gould plays Bach, it will automatically be added. So it would a bit like Mac OS X smart folders. -- Nostromo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32202 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
