@Kidstypike, Thank you for this detailed post. I learned a lot and
solved a long standing puzzle about how to access my sublibraries.
I used your tutorial to create Library Views for my collection. My music
is on a NAS. The top level folder is "MusicLib", and there are 7
subfolders (Classical, J

I've deleted my first post today, because of inaccuracies.
All my library views are created using "file path contains".
E.g. file path contains Wendy's music, Squeezebox music, etc..

However for my Christmas library view, I only used the term *Christmas*

I've just discovered the reason why Random mix doesn't work as expected,
you need to select the library view, and this is global, i.e. cannot be
set per player.

I find that assigning different library views to different players
doesn't seem to work in all cases.
E.g.
Using the *default UI* I can assign different library views to different
players.
If I select player A (assigned "Christmas music" library view) and
click on Albums or Album Artists, it d
Assume I configure one player as 192.168.0.100 and call it "Main Player"
and set its library to media/usb/MyMusic . And I configure the other
player as 192.168.0.101, call it "Alt Player" and set its library as
media/usb/PaulsStuff.
You won't really have two libraries. That's why I often refer t

There is some issue with Material Skin on Win 10 not showing the

doesn't update so you can't see your libraries.

In an attempt to negate any vagaries I renamed the music folders to
MyMusic and PaulsStuff.
Using just the directory names as search terms I successfully set up the
two libraries. (Only one small issue, on 8.1.1 selecting the libraries
is arrived at via three small dots and not a note icon).

Following your instructions to the letter (number of times) a search for
D:\Music or D:\Pauls Music finds nothing ('0 results' instantly..
although I did wait for a long time just in case this changed). I
checked out other searches and they all worked fine (and very fast
too).

No, it doesn't, but I need to know your music folder structure for both
sets of music files to proceed further.
Oh. I always thought that that function just enabled you to add files

Not intending to hijack the thread, but would library support in
MediaServer be useful? List my libraries... Select default library...
How would that be used in practice? Set an overall default library, one
per player, one per Echo... ?

Wow. That's a lot of libraries! :-)

I have a desire to run two separate libraries and switch between them.
Is there a simple way to achieve that without running two instances of
