there are some new additions to the music library navigation window. i updated the sql queries so that it correctly finds the files that are tagged with multiple artists and genres. with bobbin's recent addition of keeping the thumb location in the database, the lists come up much much faster. <thanks bobbin!>
as requested, i added a shuffle option to the window. it only works on the play action, meaning the temporary playlists. (i also made the play action work on simple files too.)
i removed the top & recent songs/albums. it screwed up the navigation. i'm thinking of a different way to add this -- possibily a button which just returns a playlist of the matching songs.
i also really fixed the viewas bug this time. i made a silly mistake while trying to clean up the code.
lastly , i changed the sortby button so that it ignores a "the " prefix for song titles, album titles, and artist names. there's a short discussion of this here:

let me know what you think of these changes.
** edit **
please let me know if anyone gets the error message that theres no data switch to files view. you shouldnt!
set your log level to 0 for debug and redo it.
check your logfile. you should see a message that says "get<something>nav failed()" and just above it will be a potentially long sql query.
(if filtering with both artist and genre, its a union of four seperate queries).
pm me with the error message. i may also need a copy of your db file.
