[QUOTE="Junoman, post: 136659, member: 36978"] [b]Started on:[/b] [b]last update:[/b] [b]Summary:[/b] True Music Management or Just A Basic Player? [Interface is not convenient for large collections] [b]Area:[/b] My Music [b]Description:[/b] "...Sometimes not understanding can make it most difficult to recommend!" Not sure if this is a feature request or even a future possibility, but I do know that this effects MANY people using MP with large music collections. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I store my music in folders for organization ARTIST > ALBUM > Tracks I have a directory structure with 11,600 artists folders (not too mention the album folders within each) It is very easy to find a specific song by browsing and quite responsive for speed. (A big improvement from 2 years ago! Thanks Guys!!!) The issue is that many folders have only one song, and it becomes tiresome to back out of directories and find the next song for play. EXTENSIVE work needs to be done in the playlist area of MP...but that is a whole other post!!! [b][i]It would be great to have a "PLAY ALL" feature or something similar, that is available from the main root (artists level) and from the album level.[/i][/b] The idea...PLAY ALL (with SHUFFLE option...very important!) could be done when looking at the artist list and would simply play any song from anywhere in the collection from any artist. PLAY ALL in the album area would shuffle and play random tracks from all albums by that artist. Basically scanning the directory tree, from where we launch the PLAY ALL query. Additionally, it would be great to play based on specific tags. ie: Play 80's music or 90's music. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps this will only become a posibility when the music portion of MP also becomes a service or MusicServer (similar to the TVServer) >> and the ideal direction to follow. Do we need to use the SQL database to catalog all our music? I think that would be ideal! It would also add unrivaled options to MP that other HTPC's could wish for, and build a solid base for future growth of the music section. [/QUOTE]
