1) I like the Library Browser, please can we have a View option to view only local files and not files on removable media?

2) Why is the theatre view now so sluggish? I was using the keyboard to try it out and there was frequently a pause of two or three seconds

3) PLEASE can we have a button or some way of showing only local files in the theatre view?

I`m sure i`ve been pleading about better support for local and removable media files for years, surely I`m not the only person who has not got the hard drive space to keep all his media files locally all of the time.

After finally determining the best way to keep track of all my CD's, whether I rip them or not, this comment came in. It would be nice to see an option in the Customize Current View to do this but I couldn't figure out how. Then I thought if I'm looking at my entire library, I might want to see all my songs, both online and offline, so an option would be needed.

Say I want to see all, the problem is if I rip a CD and I still want to see it in the library browser, when I first go into the Files, they are sorted by album then name. This would mix up the contents of a ripped CD and show it twice. The best solution I came up with right now is to sort so the online are at the top of the list and the offline are at the bottom. This requires clicking Track once, Album once, then File Type twice.

I couldn't get the sorting in the Customize Current View to work in the library in 225.

its easy to create a view scheme to view only your MP3`s on your hard drive. enter "[Media Type]=[Audio] [Removable]=<=0 ~d=m" in step 4 under create view scheme. That won`t work for theatre view or for the new Library browser though (unless I`m missing something)

Yup, the Access Control will do the job. Too bad it works on the entire library rather than a particular area.

Instead of the shortcut I was going to suggest putting a button for Access Control on the top toolbar but for some reason, that isn't even an option to add.
