I guess this comes far too late for MC 11, but I want to mention it anyway as an idea for future development:
Today, "Album" seems to be only a property of the track, stored as a text field in the MP3 tag (or whatever format the track is in). It also seems that the database in MC only has one table, and this table contains information for the individual tracks.
I would like an album table in the database, where albums are treated as objects with properties. Interesting properties could be:
-Record company
-Disc number
-A free text field
-Date of purchase
-Place of purchase
(the two last are perhaps less important)
Other interesting information is of course
-Album title
-Album artist
but these field are already stored in the track tags.
Then why do I want this?
Firstly it would make MC a nice tool to get an overview of my CD collection.
Secondly, I want to share information about my CD collection with my friends. If I had an album table that could be exported to external formats (tab delimited, XML or whatever), this would be far eaiser.
If i find a music player offering this, I might consider abandoning MC in spite of the time I have spent on putting information in the customised tags.
If on the other hand JRiver offered this possiblity, it could be a real "sticky function" making customers quite reluctant to leave MC.
