* allow me to access the Information screen from items in the queue, or on the Now Playing screen. * have the Browse The artist facility include composite albums where the artist contributes tracks, but doesn't own the whole album * allow me to access track tag data not indexed by Sonos; ie. Genre, Composer, Conductor, Lyrics, Date Recorded, Date Ripped, Original Title, Involved People, .... If I have taken the trouble to tag my music with a this data it would be good if the Sonos controllers could display it back to me. * allow link across to Artist or Album data stored in public places such as wikipedia or Last.fm (eg. http://www.last.fm/music/Gotan+Project or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotan_Project or the same at the album level) I have difficulty seeing what value it delivers in its current form. ... I have a computer in my hand ... it has an "information" button, but it just seems to a lame little circular facility showing just what I could see already see, but didn't answer any of my questions.

Here is my list - some of which have already been mentioned: 1. Year display and sort 2. Bit rate display and file type 3. total number of tracks and total time in a playlist 4. total number of tracks, artists, albums etc. in the library 5. Allow star rating for tracks and search by it. 6. Allow number of times played for a track and search by it. 7. browse music library by album cover art (like Apple's coverflow) - not teeny, tiny icons. This is especially nice for those of us with high-quality album cover art. 8. A way to disable adding duplicate tracks to a playlist. It is possible to add the same track to a long playlist multiple times and not know it.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Title Search by year of publication. Is it possible to incorporate a search function in the app that lists all the recorded years?
example:
Sonos App: Music / Library / YEAR / Albums / ...
Items should appear all recorded dates. After one year of selection, all albums should appear from the vintage. So you could play songs by a particular vintage.

Should add Star Rating, song length and Genre to the library. That data is already in the MP# file.

Silly forum software landed you on a four year dead topic...

I am wary about asking for things to be added to the music library, space is limited in the Sonos devices and the more stuff they add the less room there is for more songs.

There is a hard limit of 65K songs on a Sonos system but there is also a variable limit that is based on how much space it takes to store each track (discussed in detail elsewhere on the forum) that has reportedly bit folks with around 30K songs if I recall the post correctly.
