Crickey I must have been drunk! Ok I'll try again. If you have an album of MP3's in a folder and you press F3 to get the CD information and track details etc MP also pulls down the CD cover image. Can we get MP by default to asign the image it downloads to the folder also instead of just the tracks. DMAN.

MP1 MP2 DVD options DE
It would be good to have the ability to turn on and off closed captions and choose the audio language whilst the movie is playing. In addition have keyboard buttons assigned to each. I think this has laready been asked but preferably have the DVD player as a seperate module. DMAN.

I'm aware of the sorting and grouping, but is it possible to group by say, genre, and then once you click on the "Electronic" genre, show folders for all of the artists in electornic, instead of one huge list of all electronic music?

you can search on the folder allready but not using the mouse. Press F3 while standing on the folder. So all in all it comes down that you need the better mouse support wich is on the todo list.

Open it, e.g. with notepad 3) Change values in the following keys: <entry...
