First, and foremost, if the media library can sort artists without the "the" affecting the ranking, why not the quicktrack?
Secondly, I'd like the option to have it display the Album Artist for certain albums, ie anything that isn't various artists. Why, you might ask... some albums, notably rap albums, have guest artists on nearly every track. The way it works now, is all the "collaborations" are listed individually on the quicktrack menu. Obviously, when I put all my 3000 songs in one big playlist, the quicktrack becomes quite the mess with all the various collabos being listed individually. However, having "various artists" listed in the quicktrack isn't an option either.
I'll give credit where credits due for this one, theres another thread about the media library, and using the album year as a sorting device, and I suggest, why not extend that to the quicktrack?
I'm sure theres some other things that would be nice to have implemented in the quicktrack, so why not make it more user configurable? I was able to change the playlist display so it showed the album artist rather than the track artist, why not have the same configurability in the quicktrack? Maybe some sort of simple code, so that people could program their own quicktrack interface, make it do what they want. For example, something like:
artist=ARTALB
if(ARTALB="various artists")then(artist=ARTTRK)
You get the idea.
