Library Feature?

[ferguds]

I've just found this software & am very impressed with it!
There's one thing that I can't seem to work out, or see how to do, or maybe it's just not a feature (yet) of Silverjuke.

Different Libraries for different needs/moods/occasions

I have a dedicated jukebox machine with a large collection of albums, but depending on the occasion I would use a different library.

examples of Libraries
Rock
Jazz & Blues
Classical
Oldies
Movie Soundtracks
My main Selection
Wife's Selection

There's quite a few albums that would fit into more than one of the above libraries, so a simple directory structure as above wouldcause a lot of duplication.

Ideally I think Silverjuke might benefit from assigning a shortcut that changes to a given Library...maybe even a few library buttons on the skin?

Does anyone else work their music collection like this?

Hello ferguds -

did you already had a look on the features? Music selections also allow explicit includes and excludes (see abottom of the linked page) - maybe this already fits your needs?

Best regards,
Your Silverjuke-Team

it's possible to create button in the skin and this button use for go to a music selection directly (like button a,b,c.... but for change library)

Not yet - but in one of the next versions in between you can use the little arrow beside the search input field:

Yes, I did look at the Music Selections feature, but it's more a multi-step workaround to a library feature. It wouldn't pass the wife or the guest test I'm afraid!

Great to hear it's been considered for a future release though, I guess that answers my query.
