Hi,
I am attempting to build out a useful interface for a small form factor pc without multitouch (yes, I know, but I already bought the hardware). What I would like is something like a single screen with player controls at the top and a mosaic browser view where the heirarchy is genre->artist->albums. Looking for some advice to know what is or is not possible, and any help is appreciated.
First off, is there any mosaic based view by genre? My experiments with FilterPanes seem to only have the ability to show song lists by album or artist or both. Nothing by genre. With a large collection it is really useful to sort on some higher level like genre but I can not seem to enable this. Assume that the screen is small enough such that text based lists are not useful.
I have also tried configuring a SongTree with a custom group that is identified by genre. The SongTree syntax escapes me, but from what I have attempted the SongTree grouping mechanism seems to be tied again to artist/album only.
I can post some mock ups if this description is hard to understand. Basically I am trying to "buttonize" everything for the small display.
Thanks,
Taso
