I would like to see better handling of Web Media.
I would like the ability to create smart lists to help me create random CDs of my favorite music, but I only want
one song by any artist on any one CD (in any Playlist).
I would love the ability to tell MC to not include any songs that are already in a playlist
group; I have a group called Mix CDs, in which I keep all of the Mix CDs I've already created, listed as seperate Playlists. I want to be able to tell MC to NOT include anything in this entire group, not just by selecting all the Playlists in that group, because I have to change the rule every time I add a new Playlist (Mix CD).
I would really like to see MC incoroprate a real DVD Playback interface. I can play DVDs in MC, but It doesn't really have DVD transport controls (fast forward, pause, fast rewind, chapter skip, etc.) I know a lot of people use Zoom Player, which is really just a front end for other codecs (I've not installed it and played around with it yet), but I think MC can do the same type of thing, and I won't need
ANOTHER software program installed on my machine. I just want to use one software for everything in my HTPC, and I really want that to be MC!
I have started backing up my DVD collection to HD, and really like the idea of being able to have all the movie info stored here, just like my CDs. Things like release year, actors, genre, run time, soundtrack quality (DTS, DD 5.1, etc) resolution (4:3, 16:9, 2.35:1), maybe a quickplay link to the trailer. having all the actors and director as hyperlinks to take me to a smartlist of other things they are in that are also located in MC, or at IMDB sould be WAY cool.
Almost forgot, I REALLY, REALLY want a way to keep my library synchronized on 2 different hard drives. I plan on having 3 or 4 hard drives installed on a stand-alone server, and I need an easy way to keep the library synchronized with the required 3 or 4 backup hard drives.
Oh, and if I could have it all this week, that would be great
