Great Idea!

Hi Community,

I am 100% behind this idea, over the past few months I have gone from MP to Vista Media Center to Windows 7 Media Center and now back to MP 1.0. The only thing I have found which lets MP down compared to its Microsoft counterparts is that the Music and Pictures sections of Media Center were alot easier and alot more fluid. A good example of this is to have a simple "play all" button which enables the user to play all tracks in the database and then the easy ability to view your favourite pictures or all your pictures, or even visualizations without having to leave the music menu. Im sure many of you will have also looked at VMC and W7MC and will know where im coming from. I loved Moving Pictures and thought it was a massive step forward for MP as the perfect HTPC solution, if the same could be applied to the GUI for Music this would be amazing and throw MP far far far ahead of the competition (Not that it isnt ahead already ;-) ). So to all you amazing MP Devs out there please pick up the reigns and get involved in the music section. Although I am not a coder I do do alot of work with Photoshop, Web Dev and General Windows Network Infrastructures so If any of my skills could be used, even just for bug testing then I would be happy to throw myself into the ring.

Thanks
