Feat. Req: Artist Info, Find CD
« on: October 22, 2003, 03:21:05 am »
Hey :)

I just accidentally somehow ended up on artist info.

I never really use this and this is like the second time I ever have.

I'd use it FAR more and probably leave it as my default if we could have both these screens as the top screen in playing now along with track info etc.

It seems far more logical to have them there as options so we can see the playing now files as well as the info on the artist.

ANY chance of having these screens as an option for playing now?

Gets my vote...I use Artist Info quite a lot to find info and it would be great to be able to see it above playing files and use it to fill in tags rather than having to alt tab between windows...
I do most of my tagging in the panes/playing now windows so this would be great...

I third this request. It would be so useful to be able to access the Artist/CD info from the top pane whilst in Playing Now.

Another benefit of this would be that dial-up users  :'( could navigate down the tree with a remote without passing through Artist Info - thereby invoking the dial up connection and preventing you from continuing with the remote.

From the help file (Help/Search/"Artist Info"):

Artist Info
For Artist Info, expand Playing Now in the tree.  This opens the artist page in the All Music Guide (AMG) database. You can also customize a toolbar to include the Artist Info icon.

I'll vote for this.

Also, it would be great if Find CD was updated to actually work:
Amazon - Can't search by title
Best Buy - Page not found
Barnes & Noble - Page not found
AB-CD (UK) - Page not found
Buy.com - Only artist search works
eBay - Only artist search works
CDNow - Goes to CDNOW but doesn't search
