I worked quite a lot on my music collection and have some suggestions for views improvements.
Overall the views are working fine
ad 1: I have created custom views like Artists A...Z and Title A...Z. These views only show up on page 2 of the context menue whereas I´d like them to be in top position as they are my most used views
ad 2: Somehow I didn´t dare yet to delet one of the standard views like "artists", although I use artists A...Z which suits my needs better. But as I can´t restore the standard views, I didn´t do it. So maybe a tickbox could be added, if MP should actually show this view or not. This way one doesn´t need to delete the view but it doesn´t show up until you decide otherwise later on.
ad 3: I couldn´t manage to get a view like 60s, 70s.
I tried year "group" "3" which should give me 196x, 197x, etc. <- doesn´t work
I tried year "like" "197" to test if this returns all 70s songs, but it didn´t
I tried year "<=" 1970 which gave me all years, also > 1970
unless I overlooked the right way to achieve this, it is not possible at the moment.
-----------
and a possible bug (not tested intensively)
the standard "title" view shows a list based on file names
my custom created view Title A...Z title group 1 -> title -> artist
gives a list A,B,C...Z containing the title tags as it should be.
I use svn from this morning

P.S.: I really like the new grouping feature. Maybe consider to make this part of the standard views.
Overall the views are working fine
- Possibility to move views up/down
- Possibility to tick/untick (standard)views to show/not to show
- Possibility to group by decade like 60s, 70s
- Add more help text for the parameters
