Couldn't we have something in the options panel which allowed us to choose between searching the media library OR media libray+cd database locations?
I do two main kinds of searches;
1. Searching for music to play - the current default search of the media library is fine for this
2. Searching all database locations, since there is more to my music collection than just what's on my PC, when I am checking to see what music I have before I make a decision about downloading music [normally I'm checking to see I don't already have what I'm intending to download .] This is where I encounter delays as I need to switch view schemes.
I guess there is a deeper issue underlying this. MC is both a jukebox and a media database. The current default search setup is great for the jukebox function but not for the media database function.
If we had an option as to which was the default search option I'd go for the second option - searching the entire database.
I know that I can search either way at the moment, but having an option to choose the default search type would make things considerably easier.
I suppose I could define my media library to include my CD database but I'd then run into problems when using MC as a jukebox - volume not found etc.., so setting the default search location would be preferable.
Anyone else got any views on this?
