Personally I'd do away with the library altogether and use its space to add more controls, and just rely on having a drag-and-drop filebrowser around (which, these days, will have a better search engine than Mixxx currently does). And for the most part I'd expect that mixxx-types would sort their music pretty well (but I might be wrong). -Nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
