[QUOTE="dir, post: 404424, member: 24485"] Great! But don't try to fit it into the upcoming final release; I can live without it a bit more. What I had planned to do was to ask other people for screenshots of how they have their music collection set up. I find it easier to point at someone else's and say, "I'll have that!" rather than try to make up my own and fiddle endlessly with settings I know nothing about. Problem is, I don't think MP (or any alternative) does a good job of handling music collections. ITunes does it ok (the long list that you can sort easily by clicking on the column heading), and of course coverflow. On that subject, hopefully someone will take the opensource coverflow code that was developed over at MeediOS and figure out how to implement it within MP. But I'm not holding my breath! Again on the subject of music within StreamedMP, I find the interface v. confusing. The right-side pop-up window acts strangely depending on which kind of view is running, and sometimes I end up exiting and re-entering the Music section because I can't get the pop-up (slide-in) menu to slide back out again. Overall, the i/face is cumbersome but it's not the skin's fault, it's just how all htpc interfaces are when it comes to music. (apart from a coverflow look). Just sayin'! I suspect most people don't listen to their music this way anyway and use alternatives. Would be interesting to see what others use - I'll post a message in the right forum area. dir [/QUOTE]
