few things:
1. currently the "my songs" window in xbmc really behaves more like a "file explorer" type window than a true "my songs" type window. i, personally, would prefer something more along the lines of how "my songs" behaves in ms mce (i.e. just one big list of all the songs you have with ability to sort by song title or artist). so first question is: is this ability already in xbmc and maybe i've just been missing it?
2. if it's not already in xbmc, would anyone else be interested in having something like this?
3. perhaps there is a reason that this behavior is not already in xbmc? (i.e. perhaps such a long list would just be too resource intensive? or perhaps it just wasn't ever pursued since the current "my music" windows along with the "search" feature already provide a good deal of this functionality?)
for the sake of "completeness", it does seem like a "real" my songs window would be a nice addition (unless, of course, there are resource issues that would make it infeasible, etc.).
if there is an interest, i would be willing to volunteer to take a stab at adding a "true" my songs window and/or help in any other ways (i.e. testing, ideas, etc.) if someone else wanted to implement it.
ps. i posted this in "development" rather than "feature requests" since i am offering to "develop" this functionality if desired. if this was not the right forum to post in, please accept my appology and move appropriately.
