Just tried the June 30th nightly on XP and it when I scan for music it comes up empty. I made sure to set the music library folder correctly. Yes, it was broken. Please try todays build (revision 27311 or later). -- Michael ___ beta mailing list

Just A-Z/a-z/0-9 in the password. I hadn't filed a bug yet on that. Ok, there was indeed an issue preventing correct service registration. Should be fixed in revision 27356. Thanks for testing! -- Michael ___ beta mailing list

Yes, so ALBUMYEAR would be analogous to ALBUMARTIST. Makes sense (to me). If there isn't an ALBUMYEAR, then, as you say, what to choose? I guess this is a bit like VA logic. Could be user-customizable (from the choices you suggest, earliest, latest, etc.), I don't really mind tbh, just the
