Hi Phil, thanks for persevering. Funnily enough, I just tried this. I had to set up 5 libraries though to get it to (sort of - more later) work. I set up the following: 1 - Standard library with all music in it 2 - Custom Tag library with MULTICH=1 3 - Custom Tag library with MULTICH=-1 (I used -1 instead of 0) 4 - Dependent library = (1) - (3) for the Lounge 5 - Dependent library = (1) - (2) for the Bedroom What didn't seem to work was setting library 4 as active for the player in the Lounge and library 5 for the player in the Bedroom. I was under the impression the active library (under Extras - Multi-Library) was player specific not global. Which is correct? Also, when setting up a library, there are the tick boxes for which included menu items to use. I thought that ticking these would replace the standard menu items with ones that access the custom library? But all I got when I browsed Albums was the standard SBS list of all albums.
