Firstly just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying V2 of Plattenalbum, the UX (cover art auto resize etc) is very slick and a pleasure to use plus the fuzzy search works great.
I've always had mixed views on Genre primarily because they are subjective to the point of being almost useless to my mind especially so when multiple Genre are applied to one album, however, I and possibly others have gone to great lengths to make our collections Genre meaningful... albeit if only to us.
V1 (mpdevil) had an option to display genre which worked but I always felt it spoiled the clean UI a bit when enabled and I've been pondering if there was a less intrusive option for those that might appreciate a Genre filter. I'm no developer and hence have no idea how hard / impractical my suggestion may be, but I wondered if it were possible to extend the current Artist search (thanks for implementing this btw) such that by making a search prefixed with
<Genre>
i.e.<Blues>
for example would return a list of artists within that Genre ? Or maybe a keyboard shortcut would be simpler ?Users with some developer skills may have some better ideas here ?
EDIT
Forgot code tags
