alternatively just delete the musicdb out of your profile folder!

How do you mean "You don't want it".
Do you want the files gone, or do you want it just out of the library?

The problem is that if the files are still present then we need a way of ignoring them in the future. Once they're ignored, how does one add them back in at a later date.
On a more basic level, however, I'm not sure I understand the need for not including an album when it's there among all your other music? I can, on the other hand, understand the need for wanting to get rid of it altogether (i.e. removal of files as well as from the library).
Cheers,
Jonathan

I just thought that if the functionality was in the movie library it'd be in music, though as per your question, I was wanting to remove several item from my music library so I could fix thier ID3 tags and then add them back in, though I guess I could just fix them and do an update library.

Indeed - that is the desired behaviour - no need to remove stuff when you can just update their tags then update lib.
I suspect if you tell the movie library to remove the item and then do an update they'll pop back up again as well.

You can delete the files from the library if you enable file rename/delete I think?
