Thanks Jim, after downloading version 9 I see that view thumbnails does what I want with respect to viewing albums on the server. Now I don't need album view. I won't why it took 9 revs of the product to get there.
However after downloading 9.1 and trying out Remoteserver I must say that I'm disapointed. It's nothing more than an HTML interface to view and control a playlist via a browser. As I said in my original post I'm looking for an interface IDENTICAL to the interface one gets when they run MC on the server computer that is hooked to a high end stereo system.
Imagine a party environment where serveral computers on a LAN want to watch the visualizations and add to the now playing party list (via thumbnail cover art). The ability to run MC as a client on several computers and stay in sync with a server MC requires up front s/w client/server design.
Lastly why is it that when I right click on a thumbnail I have the option to add the entire CD to the now playing list but not the ability to add individual songs to the now playing list?
Thanks, Bob
