    Classical Mode: help needed!

    Yes, this might help, though it could be overkill in a general case. For example, in my Naim/Minim Server app, when I browse by Artist, the app always uses the same subcategories - Albums, Tracks, Genres… - That might be fine for a very-prolific “Artist” (e.g., Beethoven) but becomes tedious...

    Classical Mode: help needed!

    Hi Stephen, Thank you so much for your kind consideration, which is greatly appreciated. It is also really nice to see the company actively engaging with its users and responding to feedback: an excellent sign! Thanks also for the tip about editing Artist details in this way (though it would...

    Classical Mode: help needed!

    I think we need both:- - Better support for existing metadata tags such as "Composer" - Vastly-better support for browsing by Folder (*) The problem with relying purely on metadata tags is that they simply do not allow sufficient flexbility - as I tried to show in my screen shots. Sure, for...

    Classical Mode: help needed!

    Totally agree. And hence my plea to the "Sense" app designers to please make browsing by "Folders" a nicer experience - with full artwork. This then means that we don't have to rely on the limitations of mp3 tags and can instead organise our own music with ease - much as we might rearrange our...

    Classical Mode: help needed!

    Good points, but re. Renaming, you’d need to add an option to have “Artist” sorted by last name, which I don’t think you have, do you? (I don’t want to have to search for Schubert under F for Franz) The solution is to add a Composer grouping :-)

    Classical Mode: help needed!

    Coming back to my earlier plea (#32) for better folder browsing, let me illustrate the necessity for this using Beethoven as an example. First, how NOT to do it - this is the Innuos way... My "Classical" folder subdivided by composers. Looks really boring and unrewarding. 2. This is how I'd...

    Classical Mode: help needed!

    One other suggestion please: can we turn off the automatic web search for "Artist" details and instead opt to use a local "Album" cover? This might avoid this kind of travesty:- i couldn't give a **** about some "Techno/Electronic producer based in Barcelona and Washington, DC". I do...

    Classical Mode: help needed!

    I'm a new user - I'm not an owner yet, but currently have a Zen NG on home loan with a view towards the potential purchase of a Zenith NG. By way of introduction: pretty much ALL my listening is so-called "Classical"; however, I do not - and never intend to - use "streaming" services (many...
