I find it impossible to navigate my large music library with this app because it always sorts it by artist name. Even if I tap on Album, they're still sorted alphabetically using the ARTIST name and not the ALBUM name.

Please add a tab to display our library they way it is already organized on our PC. This is how I manage my library on the Desktop app. My music is all organized with proper folder structure. When I want to listen to, say, my Sonic Generations OST, I should be able to scroll down to the albums that are in a folder that start with the letter S and scroll down to "Sonic" before finally finding "Sonic Generations" between "Sonic Gems Collection" and the Sonic Generations bonus CD (https://i.imgur.com/IcBCIbn.png).

If it's possible to also cache album art to the phone itself, that would be great!
I used to use Winamp until a few days ago before moving to MusicBee, and Winamp had an android remote app called "aWARemote" (a WinAmp Remote) which looked as good if not better than most other android music players despite only being a remote. It offers full control of winamp, even allowing you to close it and open it if it isn't already open (of course as long as the client is running, which is separate from winamp). If you can make this app as feature-rich as that, I can confidently dump winamp once and for all and switch to MusicBee with no regrets.

Hey, @Rings4 thanks for the suggestions.

These features have been requested and on my mind for a while now, unfortunately, I didn't have the time to actually implement them though. And currently, I am stuck re-writing and optimizing the app.

I have looked into aWARemote in the past and the features are nice. I already have them in mind :)

That's great to hear! I very much look forward to the day you perfect the app. Until then, I guess I'll be using winamp for all my remote needs.
