[QUOTE="Junoman, post: 136714, member: 36978"] Thanks Paloema (and RTV)...I'll give it a try this week. But this just brings up a 'twist' to the original question. The overall future success of MP will rely stongly on user friendliness and ease of use. (Especially true if you read most peoples forum requests) So to add the "twist"....Can someone add functionality to MP so that this above suggestion can be accessed while in MyMusic (an 'on-the-fly' option). I have seen a ton of forum posts that all revolve around SORTING. I think most people want the functionality and options of music players they already have like WinAmp and MS MediaPlayer. Not realistic at this time for MP (understandably), but people always want all the bells and whistles [b]Can we have an additional menu available in the My Music that can apply different sort orders/options?[/b] This seems to be really what most people are looking for. Yes we can achieve these things through other methods and fixes, but I think people here really need a simple sorting menu that can be brought up! [Ideally, so not to have to restart MP for a sort change -- I may use the current sort order most times for speed (as you mention), but some nights want to random play the entire collection] The PLAY ALL option/suggestion was just an [b]easy way[/b] to push one button and listen to ALL my music. After seeing so many SORTING related posts, it seems to me that a sorting menu with 'dummy' options would entice many of the current and future MP users, while adding "ease of use"! Take for example something like the following: 1) PLAY ALL MUSIC (All Artists) 2) PLAY ALL MUSIC (By this Artist) 3) PLAY FAVORITES LIST 4) PLAY 80's MUSIC 5) PLAY 90's MUSIC 6) PLAY MUSIC OF GENRE [..SELECT GENRE] Rock Soft-Rock Country etc.... For myself, like others, it would seem that a great many posts would be answered by such functionality being a part of the regular system. I would love to hear from other people about how much improved your experience would be with such added functionality. Thanks again for the help Paloema! [/QUOTE]
