For me in classical music the actual CD the tracks came from is very relevant. I do tend to only play full albums (CDs) and never individual tracks, regardless of the genre. Although I can see how the new online music market is changing the way artists release their work, I do still think most of them make a conscious effort to 'curate' their work into a CD like format, which I would then like to play from beginning to end. I've been following this discussion with interest because I also still use the Custom Browse and Custom Library. My main navigation is through "shallowgenre" though: >Genre >Subgenre >Albums (where Genre can be Classical with subgenres Classical Piano, Classical Bach, etc...) My main reason to do this is that I tend to be more visually oriented when choosing what music to play. So rather then coming up with the name of the work or the name of the performer I prefer scrolling through album covers.. So if I decide to rework my menus using the new functionality in LMS 8 (in stead of using the plugins) it would need to include an alternative for shallowgenre. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeroen2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106488
