Following the recent demise of Meedio thought I would check back with MP to see if it is now more suited to my needs than a year ago. I have been searching the forums for most of these answers but without much luck.

ASIO
Does MP allow output via ASIO at all?

Music Indexes
I see that views have been incorporated into MP which is great but Meedio had a great facility where you could have the first letter of note showing as a button. eg. for an artist pick list you could have A-Z and then under that you could set it up to show all artist begining with A etc depending on what button you pressed.

MP3 Tags and ordering
I guess this is related to the above but I want Bob Dylan to appear under D and The Smiths to appear under S etc. In Meedio I achieved this by using the Original Artist and Composer tags. On top of this everyhing is based on the band tag not the artist tag.

All in all I want MP to be able to be able to distinguish between artists and bands (ie. all various artists albums appear under Various Artists when looking at bands and the actual artist when looking at artists) and also to have these sorted correctly.

Manual tags
In Meedio you can manually edit the music database to add extra fields etc. I see that the views as they are, are limited can I add extra fields (I have setup two extra fields currently to say whether music belongs to me or the misses and whether it belongs to an album, a single or a compilation)

These are really the points that made me go for Meedio in the first place so if someone could fill me in it would be nice
