I have a couple of suggestions which might enhance search functionality out of the box (ie without having to construct custom search) a. now that additional browse modes support composer and conductor at least, could the advanced search functionality incorporate them as a query. b. is there a wa

As per title. I am using syncronizing players very frequent and I mostly use SB Classics, so Menu order is set via LMS Web page (Server settings - Player - Menues) So, instead of moving though submenues, it would be great to be able to have Sync in the main menue. Just a minor thing of this other

Once consequence of combining albumartists, artists and composers as I discussed above is that neither iPeng or Squeeze Commander can cope with the number of entries (close to 300k tracks) and the Artist browse becomes unusable with the apps slowing to a near halt. SqueezeWand | 'Vivere DAC MKI

I understand that favourites were initially for streams (eg. on-line radio channels), and it was useful to click a favourite and immediately start playing that source. However, when making an artist or genre a favourite, it's really not all that useful. Fully agreed. Hmm... I think some work
