I must admit I like the idea of a "First Letter" sort filter as well. I also have a very large library and the ability to jump straight to a particular title letter is appealing.
It would be nice if this could be achieved with the remote - you press one key - it pops up an onscreen alphabet as part of the skin, you chose which letter - press select and it jumps (or auto jump after a min. time). (Not sure if this can be achieved with "Shift Letter" on a remote??)
I use SMS jump, next/previous leter (these are great BTW). I made an onscreen SMS jump mode which works with PM3 (would be excellent if this was a standard part of each skin) and using the other keys one can quite easily jump throughout the library. However, it currently takes multiple key presses to get to certain title letters and uses 3 keys on the remote for it all to work. It is unfortunate the xbox remote doesn't have more keys. Perhaps I need to invest in one of those universal remote dooheckies! Still, if it came to the crunch, I would rather have a one button press to return to the current playing video (Or a selection window for the last several items played)
