itunes, ipod and winamp all suffer from the same pitfall. the media library's usefulness begin to break down as the number of albums grows and the types of albums differ. I keep my head banger CD's on a completely separate shelf than my electronic CD's. How come we cannot do the same with any of the popular media libraries? lets face it, i do not want to see my kids Hannah Montana album when I am browsing my heavy metal albums in my media library. Please please please i beg you, create the "collection". A "collection" would be the most simplest folder system to contain my media. I would like to right click "Audio" in the media library and select "rename collection" and then create a name and whatever is in Audio now appears in a new heading with the new collection's name "MyMetal". Audio would then be empty and ready to accept new files. My daughter can play with her own collections. When I return to my computer, I can select "MyMetal" and get right back to where I was without seeing the Pussycat dolls next to my Pink Floyd album.

Not sure what this has to do with "Site Design", but what's wrong with just using custom smart views for your "collections" ....which is really just what the "Audio" view is anyway?? And just let Audio continue to be everything (or remove it altogether).
