The player-based browsing code is being rewritten for 6.1 to make better

Vidur,
That's great news.  Is there a bug under which this work is being
performed?  I'd like to add myself to the cc: list so that I will know
when to check this out and give you feedback.
 

The main bug under which the browsing code is being modified is 
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=55. It's not directly 
related to this specific issue, so feel free to create a new bug and 
mark it dependent on bug 55.

Thanks,

Vidur,

That's great news.  Is there a bug under which this work is being
performed?  I'd like to add myself to the cc: list so that I will know

Yes I've seen this (on my Slimp3's).  It seems to be aggravated by my
extensive use of TSOP tags (performer sort order).  It's not new (for
me) in 6.0 and 6.0.1, but has been there for a long time.  I haven't
filed a bug because it's a pain-in-the-butt bug to file.  Short of
sending my entire collection, I'm not sure how to describe how to
duplicate it.  Maybe the .db file is enough for Dan et al. to figure
out why this is happening.

* jmpage2 shaped the electrons to say...
Browse by Artist... if I go to browse music, browse by artist and hit
the "j" button on the keypad it jumps to the "j" artists but it is in
the middle of the artist list instead of being at the top of the "j"
artist listings.
I'll let someone who's more familiar with that code respond..
Shuffle/Unshuffle behavior.  When shuffling or unshuffling a large
playlist the server will lock up and stop responding, the players will
disconnect and reconnect 20-40 seconds later.  Is anything being done
to optimise shuffle/unshuffle behavior?
Yes - this is one of the higher priority items for 6.1
