May I suggest a solution like the Amarok player's treatment of "Various Artists:" A track/album may be meta-tagged as various artists so that when browsing the whole album can be viewed under one category and so that artists with one track on the album do not clutter browsing by artist. Of course for better usability this tag is automatically placed, but can be added and removed at will by the user.
I think we are talking about a similar concept here, but with "Singles" (instead of a non-descriptive "Other" category.) It would function in a similar way as the Various Artist treatment above. BOTH these systems are crucial to the usability and proper semantics of large-music-library browsing.

What does the user want to do that searching doesn't accomplish?Sorry to appear so daft, but it feels like I would like to contribute but am just not grasping what the problem and use case are.Kirk _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list Usability gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
