[QUOTE="PussyWagon, post: 517455, member: 80950"] Doooh! :rolleyes: Yes, what I ment was to make the developer of (this possible future music plugin :P) have feedbacks from fforde as he probably have good opinions/ideas and a good structure of how to build it. Agree! Also I hope in future (probably MP2) that search function will be improved so there is no need for extra plugin as Global Music Search. This really should be integrated in MP as standard! About the music views in MP, and to search with GMS and only having listviews as mentioned before I only have one thing to say about this. NO NO NO!! As I said before, its now 2009! Things should be GOOD LOOKING, EASY AND FUN to deal with... not only textformat bla bla bla. I got bored before I even has played the song. :P Yes ofcourse, you cannot have thumbs/covers for everything like genres for example. But what if there was a nicer way to navigate through all music files. Like having different viewing options on the left (always visible) like "genre" / "artist" / "album". Instead of pressing menu, switch views, select prefered view and the back... And if you regret and want another view, theres a lot of presses again! (but this maybe is a skinning developers work, maybe this option to have visible buttons already exists, I dont know.) Then it shows covers of all music in order of choosed view. Then you may have the full alphabet to be shown in top, and you can press the letters in orders of what you are searching for, displaying the search tag in REAL TIME. For example you press: "I" and "R" it will show everything with "IR" like "Iron Maiden". When using remote, ofcourse you have the "SMS Style" option when searching. ( I know there is some options about the sms style input, but I dont know how and if this is working with music search though?) Then when choosing album it will shows files in ListView style with artist fanart/albumart and so on. Perhaps it also shows "Similar" artists/albums on the right to make you discover new music/artists. This way, as earlier mentioned listview is the easiest overview and way to search musicfiles. It still would be very easy to navigate through files but in a MUCH MORE SATISFIED way with nice graphics!
