[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 540383, member: 11220"] Not going to read the whole thread as the last few pages are enough :rolleyes: The music section is the one thing I hate about MP :sorry:. It is not really the lack of shiny features like fanart and nice skinning nor lack of functionality but more fundamental in that the experience is not intuitive. My mum was sat down and within 2 mins was using live TV, my pics, TV series etc. Put her in front of the music section and it is like :wtf: I don't get it... why is it doing that? A lot of people don't even seem to know about the database and are still using folder browsing (I guess the defaults and the config app lead you down that route) but even the fact there are multiple now playing screens and controls do different things on different screen is confusing. As much as I agree with many of the thoughts in this thread I can't see much coming out of it. There are too many thoughts and people wanting to go in different directions. I think the reason it has come so far without a plugin is (a) it is quite hard and (b) there aren't that many actual developers. For me I think that music would be better if it tried to do less, pleased less people but did what it did well. I have an idea about how this could be made a lot more intuitive and will have to have a play over the weekend... [/QUOTE]
