Fair questions. So I'm modeling this after my experience with LMS where I find when you select an Artist marked as a Favorite, LMS takes you to all the Albums of the Artist, as you're suggesting (but yes, this is what I would desire). If you click Play of an Artist, LMS will play albums/songs in their order (alpha name for Album, track order for songs), unless you have chosen to Shuffle by Song or Shuffle by Album. I would like that same experience selecting a Favorite Artist from Spotify ideally. I choose this because it would be great to shuffle albums from the entire Spotify catalog for great classical artists as an example, and to shuffle songs from the entire catalog of great Pop/Rock/Jazz artists. The top 10 don't excite me...but I appreciate that there may be limits technically, or conflicts in desired use cases. As for Podcasts marked as Favorite, pretty much the same except there is no notion of Album, so just podcasts in order of most recent published date. Hopefully this helps...and I certainly appreciate that not all of this may be workable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnbmeyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69610 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111217 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
